The coronary artery is the artery that feeds your heart in blood. Your heart is a muscle just like any other, and it needs blood so it can contract effectively.

Angina is a pain you feel in your chest when your heart muscle is not receiving enough blood to function properly.

Increased heart rate, from exercise or stress or other, means that your heart has to work harder. So if the coronary artery is partially blocked, then your myocardia, the heart muscle, doesn’t get enough blood, toxins build up in the tissue and you get angina. Kinda like a motor will not run well when you rev it if the gas line is blocked.

Absolutely,CAD causes angina.I have 15 blockages in my coronary arteries and they range from 40% to 100%,yet I rarely have angina.I know people who don’t have near the amount of blockages I do who have terrible angina.
Temperature extremes cause me more angina than anything but the cold is the worst.If I get very cold I have bad chest pains and pain radiating into my jaw and the roof of my mouth. Just never go anywhere without your nitro and aspirin!!!
