RESUMO
Angina pectoris usually occurs in patients with significant coronary artery disease during periods of increased coronary demand such as increased heart rate. Bradycardia is a rare and unusal cause of angina pectoris that should be considered during the evaluation of patients with agnia. This paper reports three cases of bradycardia-induced angina.
