Where are the chest pains of angina pectoris located?

Angina pain is mostly located behind the sternum.

Angina is related to coronary artery stenosis, insufficient myocardial blood supply and oxygen supply, etc. The myocardium undergoes anaerobic metabolism under hypoxia and ischemia, and metabolites stimulate the cardiac nerves, causing pain. Pain is mostly located behind the sternum, and some patients feel pain radiating along the nerves to the anterior region, upper limbs, etc.

When angina attacks, patients should immediately stop activities and stay in bed to reduce the burden on the heart, relieve myocardial ischemia and hypoxia, and alleviate pain symptoms.
