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 ...

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

Coronary vasospasm: A narrative review
World Journal of Cardiology, 2021 Coronary artery vasospasm (CAVS) plays an important role in acute chest pain syndrome caused by transient and partial or complete occlusion of the coronary arteries. Pathophysiology of the disease remains incompletely understood, with autonomic and endothelial dysfunction thought to play an important role.

Successful brachytherapy of coronary vasospasm [PDF]
Heart, 2003 Brachytherapy is a proposed treatment for in-stent restenosis and is the subject of several clinical trials and debates. The standard treatment of patients with variant angina is to eliminate vasoconstrictive factors and to administer vasodilating drugs. This is the first description of successful brachytherapy for coronary spasm.
