VA recurrence persists despite medical therapy in coronary spasm; hypothesis-generating for ICD consideration, requires prospective confirmation.
Does medical therapy prevent the recurrence of ventricular arrhythmias in patients with life-threatening VAs induced by coronary artery spasm?
Patients with life-threatening VAs induced by coronary artery spasm remain at high risk for recurrence despite medical therapy, suggesting that ICD implantation may be indicated for all such patients.
