A review is made on the clinical aspect of angina pectoris, making emphasis on the typical pain that occurs on effort and stress. This pain is oppressive, retrosternal, diffuse and radiates into the neck, jaw, shoulders and left arm. It relieves by rest and/or nitroglycerine. The most significant results of the electrocardiogram, the echocardiogram and the ergometric test are shown. The usefulness of coronary angiography in these cases is also mentioned. Finally, it is explained the conduct to be followed from the family physician's office in relation to the general and pharmacological treatment by using nitrates, beta blockers, calcium antagonists and new drugs
