Paradoxical coronary vasospasm and transient apical ballooning in a post-menopausal woman: An imaging case report of an unusual INOCA presentation

American Heart Journal Plus, 2022
Ischemia with non-obstructive coronary artery disease (INOCA), a common cause of angina, can occur due to coronary vasospasm, microvascular dysfunction, endothelial dysfunction, atherosclerosis or a combination of these mechanisms.

Kounis Syndrome: Is it a Heralder or Just a Mimicker of Acute Coronary Syndrome? [PDF]

Journal of Clinical and Diagnostic Research, 2023
Coronary vasospasm of allergic aetiology is a heavily underdiagnosed condition. Very few instances of this phenomenon are reported. This is a case of a 55-year-old male, with an unusual presentation, where a bee sting triggered an allergic inflammatory ...

Comparison of nebivolol versus diltiazem in improving coronary artery spasm and quality of life in patients with hypertension and vasospastic angina: A prospective, randomized, double-blind pilot study.

PLoS ONE, 2020
BackgroundBeta-blockers are often not the preferred treatment for patients with vasospastic angina. However, nebivolol, beta-blocker with nitric oxide-releasing effect, could theoretically improve coronary vasospasm.

Haemodynamic characterisation of different endotypes in coronary artery vasospasm in reaction to acetylcholine

International Journal of Cardiology: Heart & Vasculature, 2022
Background: Vasoreactivity testing with high-dose acetylcholine is considered vasospasm provocation and low-dose as endothelial function testing. Aims: To assess the changes in reaction to low- and high-dose acetylcholine in the endotypes of CAS as ...

Invasive Evaluation for Coronary Vasospasm

US Cardiology Review, 2023
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

A case report and literature review of myocardial infarction with nonobstructive coronary arteries (MINOCA) possibly due to acute coronary vasospasm induced by misoprostol

Frontiers in Cardiovascular Medicine, 2023
Coronary artery vasospasm (CVS), an uncommon cause of acute chest pain, can be provoked by vasoconstriction-induced medications. Misoprostol, a prostaglandin analog, is a safe medication to terminate a pregnancy.
