It occurs when an imbalance arises between myocardial oxygen supply and demand, most frequently due to atherosclerotic narrowing of the epicardial coronary arteries, coronary vasospasm, or microvascular dysfunction

Patients typically present with substernal sensations of pressure, heaviness, squeezing, or burning that may radiate to the jaw, neck, shoulder, back, or arm

While episodes are classically precipitated by physical exertion or emotional stress and relieved by rest or sublingual vasodilators, clinical patterns can range from predictable stable exertional discomfort to acute, unpredictable episodes indicative of unstable coronary syndromes
