Which type of pain is often associated with angina pectoris?

Chronic pain
Severe abdominal pain
Chest pain
Headache

The correct answer is: Chest pain

Angina pectoris is characterized by chest pain or discomfort that occurs when the heart muscle does not receive enough oxygen-rich blood. This pain is often described as a feeling of pressure, squeezing, fullness, or pain in the center or left side of the chest. It may also radiate to the shoulders, neck, jaw, or arms. Chest pain specifically signals the underlying issue of reduced blood flow to the heart, which is a hallmark of angina. Other choices like chronic pain, severe abdominal pain, or headache do not accurately reflect the nature of angina pectoris and its relationship to cardiac stress and oxygen deprivation.
