Endothelial dysfunction is a critical factor in the pathogenesis of coronary artery spasm, which occurs in approximately 40% of Japanese patients with angina pectoris.
Highlights the high prevalence of coronary spasm in Japanese angina patients and its mechanistic link to endothelial dysfunction.

May support endothelial assessment in Japanese angina; leaves open prospective trials to guide practice.
Kawano et al. (2004) conducted a review in Coronary artery spasm and angina pectoris. Endothelial dysfunction vs. Normal endothelial function was evaluated on Coronary artery spasm. Endothelial dysfunction is a critical factor in the pathogenesis of coronary artery spasm, which occurs in approximately 40% of Japanese patients with angina pectoris.
