Layered Plaque in Organic Lesions in Patients With Coronary Artery Spasm

Journal of the American Heart Association, 2022
Background Coronary artery spasm plays a vital role in the pathogenesis of coronary plaques. We sought to investigate the plaque characteristics of co‐existing organic lesions in patients with coronary artery spasm in comparison to those without coronary

A Case of Aborted Sudden Cardiac Death Due to Coronary Artery Spasm [PDF]

JACC: Case Reports, 2023
Coronary artery spasm remains an important yet rarely recognized cause of myocardial ischemia, which may manifest as vasospastic angina, ventricular arrhythmia, or sudden cardiac death. Here we present a case of ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction

Coronary Artery Spasm During Pulsed Field vs Radiofrequency Catheter Ablation of the Mitral Isthmus.

JAMA Cardiol, 2023
Importance In treating atrial fibrillation, pulsed field ablation (PFA) is a novel energy modality with comparable efficacy to conventional thermal ablation, such as radiofrequency ablation (RFA), but with the benefit of some preferentiality to ...

Severe familial coronary artery spasm in 2 siblings: About 2 cases [PDF]

Radiology Case Reports, 2023
Vasospastic angina is the spasm of coronary arteries causing transient myocardial ischemia. VSA is commonly managed with antispasmodic medications including calcium-channel blockers and nitrates.

Role of acetylcholine spasm provocation test as a pathophysiological assessment in nonobstructive coronary artery disease

Cardiovascular Intervention and Therapeutics, 2020
Coronary angiography (CAG) sometimes shows nonobstructive coronary arteries in patients with suspected angina or acute coronary syndrome (ACS). The high prevalence of nonobstructive coronary artery disease (CAD) in those patients has recently been ...

Case Report: Left main coronary artery spasm in monozygotic twins patients with vasospastic angina [PDF]

Frontiers in Cardiovascular Medicine
Coronary artery spasm (CAS), a known cause of myocardial ischemia that can present as variant angina, is primarily triggered by intraoperative catheter manipulation. Evidence for a genetic predisposition to coronary artery spasm is scarce.

Case Report: Recurrent ventricular fibrillation induced by multivessel coronary artery spasm: a case supporting ICD for secondary prevention [PDF]

Frontiers in Physiology
BackgroundCoronary artery spasm (CAS), also known as vasospastic angina, is a functional coronary disorder that can precipitate transient myocardial ischemia and life-threatening ventricular arrhythmias.
