As a medical professional with expertise in cardiology, I can explain the consequences of the heart not receiving an adequate supply of oxygen. When the heart muscle is deprived of oxygen, it can lead to a condition known as myocardial ischemia. This can occur due to the narrowing or blockage of the coronary arteries, which are the blood vessels that supply blood to the heart. The lack of oxygen can cause chest pain, or angina, and if severe or prolonged, it can result in damage to the heart muscle, known as myocardial infarction or a heart attack.

Angina is caused by reduced blood flow to your heart muscle. Your blood carries oxygen, which your heart muscle needs to survive. When your heart muscle isn't getting enough oxygen, it causes a condition called ischemia. The most common cause of reduced blood flow to your heart muscle is coronary artery disease (CAD).
