 A symptomatic manifestation of transient myocardial

 Arises as a result of mismatch between oxygen
demand and supply, which means an increased
demand for oxygen or a limited supply of oxygen
(Winchester & Pepine, 2015).
 The symptoms manifest in the form of
a severe painful sensation in the breast
that seems to vanish after a person stands
still (Winchester & Pepine, 2015).
