When the adjustments within the heart are sufficient to compensate for the disease process, no symptoms occur, but when a discrepancy exists between the myocardial demand and the coronary supply, the resulting myocardial ischemia is responsible for the clinical syndromes of angina pectoris, congestive failure and myocardial infarction. The corollaries may be completely occluded without infarction or myocardial fibrosis if the development of the collateral circulation keeps pace with the occlusive process. This conception relates particularly...Bibliography1.
