Vasospastic angina (VSA) occurs at rest and on exertion, with transient electrocardiographic ischemic changes. VSA presents with spontaneous coronary artery spasm (CAS); it has been associated with stable angina, acute coronary syndromes, and sudden cardiac death. CAS can be identified in normal arteries or non-obstructive coronary atherosclerosis, but
