Key Points

Angina pectoris severity cannot be fully captured by attack frequency alone, as individuals frequently curb daily exertion to prevent onset of chest discomfort.
The Canadian Cardiovascular Society classification defines symptom severity by the specific physical exertion threshold required to trigger ischemic episodes.
Evaluation using activity-based thresholds reveals true physical limitations in ischemic heart disease, supporting more responsive clinical treatment plans.
