Learn how the heart works.
Coronary artery spasm is a type of angina. Angina is pain that is caused by the heart muscles not getting enough blood. A sudden spasm or narrowing of a blood vessel that supplies the heart causes angina by reducing the amount of oxygen the heart receives. Coronary artery spasms often cause pain. Sometimes severe spasms can lead to irregular heartbeats. They can even cause heart attack, also known as acute myocardial infarction (AMI), and sudden death.
The pericardium is the thin, sac-like tissue that surrounds the heart. Inflammation of this tissue is called pericarditis. The condition may be mild and last only a few days. Or it may be more severe and lead to serious complications.
Nonstop flow of blood from the heart to the body and back to the heart again is called circulation. Blood vessels are hollow muscular tubes that carry blood throughout your body, much like pipes circulate water in your home.

A heart murmur is an extra noise heard during a heartbeat. The noise is caused when blood does not flow smoothly through the heart.
