Angina pectoris (AP), a clinical syndrome characterized by paroxysmal chest pain, is caused by insufficient blood supply to the coronary arteries and sudden temporary myocardial ischemia and hypoxia. Long-term AP typically induces other cardiovascular events, including myocardial infarction and heart failure, posing a serious threat to patient safety. However, AP's complex pathological mechanisms and developmental processes introduce significant challenges in the rapid diagnosis and accurate treatment of its different subtypes, including stable angina pectoris (SAP), unstable angina pectoris (UAP), and variant angina pectoris (VAP). Omics research has contributed significantly to revealing the pathological mechanisms of various diseases with the rapid development of high-throughput sequencing approaches. The application of multi-omics approaches effectively interprets systematic information on diseases from the perspective of genes, RNAs, proteins, and metabolites. Integrating multi-omics research introduces novel avenues for identifying biomarkers to distinguish different AP subtypes. This study reviewed articles related to multi-omics and AP to elaborate on the research progress in multi-omics approaches (including genomics, transcriptomics, proteomics, and metabolomics), summarized their applications in screening biomarkers employed to discriminate multiple AP subtypes, and delineated integration methods for multi-omics approaches. Finally, we discussed the advantages and disadvantages of applying a single-omics approach in distinguishing diverse AP subtypes. Our review demonstrated that the integration of multi-omics technologies is preferable for quick and precise diagnosis of the three AP types, namely SAP, UAP, and VAP.
