Coronary artery vasospasm warrants consideration in acute chest pain; leaves open questions on mechanisms and targeted therapies.
Coronary artery vasospasm is an important cause of acute chest pain syndrome that requires high clinical suspicion, provocative testing for diagnosis, and treatment with calcium channel blockers and nitrates.
Jewulski et al. (2021) conducted a review in Coronary artery vasospasm. Coronary artery vasospasm management was evaluated. Coronary artery vasospasm is an underdiagnosed cause of acute chest pain that can lead to serious complications, with calcium channel blockers serving as the first-line treatment.
