Cardiac ischemia may be asymptomatic or may cause chest pain, known as [[angina pectoris]]. It occurs when the heart muscle, or [[myocardium]], receives insufficient blood flow.<ref>{{Cite web|title=Myocardial ischemia - Symptoms and causes|url=https://www.mayoclinic.org/diseases-conditions/myocardial-ischemia/symptoms-causes/syc-20375417|access-date=2021-10-27|website=Mayo Clinic|language=en}}</ref> This most frequently results from [[atherosclerosis]], which is the long-term accumulation of cholesterol-rich plaques in the [[coronary arteries]]. In most Western countries, [[Coronary artery disease|ischemic heart disease]] is the most common cause of death in both men and women, and a major cause of hospital admissions.<ref name=WHO>{{cite book |author= World Health Organization Department of Health Statistics and Informatics in the Information, Evidence and Research Cluster |title=The global burden of disease 2004 update |publisher=WHO |location=Geneva  |year=2004 |isbn=92-4-156371-0}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web|title=Coronary Artery Disease|url=https://medlineplus.gov/coronaryarterydisease.html|access-date=2021-10-27|website=medlineplus.gov}}</ref>
