متن کاملA Series of Unfortunate Events: Prinzmetal Angina Culminating in Transmural Infarction in the Setting of Acute Gastrointestinal Hemorrhage
Prinzmetal angina or vasospastic angina is a clinical phenomenon that is often transient and self-resolving. Clinically it is associated with ST elevations on the electrocardiogram, and initially it may be difficult to differentiate from an acute myocardial infarction. The vasospasm induced in this setting occurs in normal or mildly to moderately diseased vessels and can be triggered by a numbe...
متن کاملVariant angina of Prinzmetal with normal coronary arteriograms. A variant of the variant.
Variant angina of Prinzmetal has been generally presumed to be caused by a significant focal obstruction in a single major coronary artery which should be an ideal lesion for aortocoronary saphenous vein bypass graft. Recognition of this clinical syndrome would then be of particular diagnostic and therapeutic importance if such a consistent association can be demonstrated. Of five patients with...

Variant angina, defined as spontaneous angina pectoris associated with transient ST-segment elevation, is usually caused by episodic coronary spasm. At present, coronary artery spasm is a reversible coronary stenosis that limits coronary blood flow under resting conditions. Prinzmetal first described this type of angina pectoris as a distinct entity in 1959. Although several hypotheses have bee...
