title: Pathophysiology of stable angina pectoris.
abstract: The pathophysiology of stable angina is discussed with respect to anatomic substrate, coronary and systemic hemodynamic mechanisms, the dynamic nature of coronary artery stenoses, and determinants of myocardial oxygen consumption. Cellular mechanisms involved in ischemia and the transduction of these changes into angina are also reviewed.
