Angina (also called angina pectoris) is defined as: “a condition marked by severe pain in the chest, often also spreading to the shoulders, arms, and neck, owing to an inadequate blood supply to the heart.” A heart attack occurs when this same process lasts long enough to cause permanent damage to the heart muscle.
