AB  - Angina  pectoris  refers  to  a  strangling  or  pressure-like  pain  caused  by  cardiac  ischemia.  The  pain  is  usually  located  substernally  but  is  sometimes  perceived  in  the  neck,  shoulder  and  arm,  or  epigastrium.  Women  develop  angina  at  a  later  age  than  men  and  are  less  likely  to  have  classic  substernal  pain.  Drugs  used  in  angina  exploit  two  main  strategies:  reduction  of  oxygen  demand  and  increase  of  oxygen  delivery  to  the  myocardium.
