10 Angina Pectoris Symptoms
Fatigue
Fatigue is a common symptom of angina pectoris. Often the fatigue that is felt by the individual comes on slowly and insidiously with many not immediately feeling its effect.
As coronary artery disease worsens, the perfusion of the heart muscle decreases. At least initially, this may not be significant enough to induce symptoms. Over time cardiac output decreases, meaning the amount of oxygen delivered to the organs and muscles is reduced. Fatigue is the end product of the reduced oxygen supply.
