what is the relationship between ischaemic heart disease, angina pectoris and myocardial infraction?

Ischemic heart disease is caused by poor blood circulation to the heart. Normally, this is a result of atherosclerotic plaques which reduce the capacity of coronary arteries. angina pectoris is a type of chest pain which is a symptom of ischemic heart disease. An infarction happens when an artery gets clogged because of plaque and a portion of the heart muscle dies. This is what is called a "heart attack".
