KOUNIS SYNDROME (ALLERGIC ANGINA):AN ELUSIVE DIAGNOSIS
INDIAN JOURNAL OF APPLIED RESEARCH, 2022 We studied case series of 6 patients admitted with hypersensitivity and acute coronary syndrome. Kounis syndrome is local manifestation of generalised hypersensitivity reaction. Kounis syndrome (allergic angina) is not rare but rarely recognized and under-diagnosed. Serum tryptase is diagnostic biomarker of diagnose KS.

Allergic angina can be determined by the early use of cardiac magnetic resonance imaging
The American Journal of Emergency Medicine, 2010 Kounis syndrome (KS) is the simultane appearance of acute coronary syndrome with circumstances accompanied with mast cell degranulation and is precipitated via inflammatory mediators released through the mast cell activation. Generally, in published cases with KS, ST elevations on electrocardiogram (ECG) and marked cardiac enzyme elevations including ...

Allergic vasospastic angina: a systematic review
HeartBackground Allergic vasospastic angina (also referred to as Kounis syndrome) is an under-recognised subtype of vasospastic angina in which coronary artery spasm is precipitated by an allergen. This study evaluates the clinical characteristics, mechanisms and management of this intriguing angina subtype.

Kounis syndrome (allergic angina and allergic myocardial infarction): A natural paradigm?
International Journal of Cardiology, 2005 Inflammatory mediators including histamine, neutral proteases, arachidonic acid products, platelet activating factor and a variety of cytokines and chemokines are increased in blood or urine in both allergic episodes and acute coronary syndromes. The release of mediators during allergic insults has been incriminated to induce coronary artery spasm and ...

ALLERGIC ANGINA: A NEW ADDITION TO THE DIFFERENTIAL DIAGNOSIS AND PATHOPHYSIOLOGY OF CHEST PAIN
Journal of the American College of Cardiology, 2018 Kounis Syndrome is a novel concept that bridges the gap of allergic reaction and Acute Coronary Syndromes (ACS) giving the aliases of “Allergic Angina” and “Allergic Myocardial Infarction”. It is ACS caused by mast cell mediated vasospasm and possible plaque erosion.

Allergic angina and allergic myocardial infarction: a new twist on an old syndrome.
The Canadian journal of cardiology, 2002 A series of eight patients admitted to a single-centre coronary care unit over a two-year period is described. All of the patients presented with an acute coronary syndrome within less than 48 h from the onset of an allergic reaction (six patients), or during an acute asthmatic paroxysm (two patients).
