NHLBI Heart Disease & Women Are You At Risk: NHLBI (Excerpt)
Coronary heart disease causes chest pain (angina) and heart attacks.
Blood brings oxygen and nutrients to the heart. When too little blood flows to
the heart, angina results. When the blood flow is critically reduced, a heart
attack occurs. A lack of blood flow to the brain or, in some cases, bleeding in
the brain causes a stroke. Some other cardiovascular diseases are high blood
pressure and rheumatic heart disease.

NHLBI, coronary heart disease: NHLBI (Excerpt)
Chest pain (angina) or shortness of
breath may be the earliest signs of CHD. A person may feel heaviness, tightness,
pain, burning, pressure, or squeezing, usually behind the breastbone but
sometimes also in the arms, neck, or jaws. These signs usually bring the patient
to a doctor for the first time. Nevertheless, some people have heart attacks
without ever having any of these symptoms.
It is important to know that there is a wide range of severity for CHD. Some
people have no symptoms at all, some have mild intermittent chest pain, and some
have more pronounced and steady pain. Still others have CHD that is severe
enough to make normal everyday activities difficult.
