How do i know whether i have angina or coronary artery disease?
3 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
Symptom vs disease: Angina, or chest pain or angina equivalents (there are many) are a symptom usually of heart disease. Coronary artery disease, cad, is a progressive disease: plaque builds up in the arteries of the heart and this can lead to blockage(s), ischemia (insufficient blood flow) which can cause pain or angina.

In specificity : Angina is chest pain due to diminished blood flow to heart muscle; maybe from constriction or blockage. Coronary disease is abnormality in coronary artery itself . Heart disease is abnormality in any part of the heart.
