Angina results from a reduction in the oxygen supply/demand ratio. Therefore, in order to alleviate the pain, it is necessary to improve this ratio. This can be done either by increasing blood flow (which increases oxygen delivery or supply), or by decreasing oxygen demand (i.e., by decreasing myocardial oxygen consumption).

This video covers anti-anginal drugs, explaining that angina results from a reduction in the oxygen supply and demand ratio. It describes the two general approaches to alleviating the pain: increasing blood flow to increase oxygen delivery, or decreasing myocardial oxygen consumption to reduce demand.
Key points
- Angina is described as resulting from a reduction in the oxygen supply and demand ratio
- Improving that ratio is described as necessary to alleviate the pain
- Increasing blood flow to increase oxygen delivery is described as one approach
- Decreasing oxygen demand by decreasing myocardial oxygen consumption is described as the other approach
