Coronary insufficiency occurs when there is a disproportion between the oxygen needs of the heart and the oxygen supply to the heart. It can therefore be produced either (a) by decreasing the available oxygen supply to the heart, (b) by increasing the work of the heart, or (c) by a combination of both changes. The diagnosis of angina pectoris or coronary insufficiency can often easily be made in the presence of a typical clinical history and characteristic electrocardiographic changes. In many instances, however, the appraisal of substernal and precordial pain may be extremely difficult.
