ResumoCoronary spasm (CS) is a temporary, abnormal vasoconstriction that may slow or stop blood flow through the coronary artery. It is now known that CS plays an important role in the pathogenesis not only of variant angina but also of ischemic heart disease in general, including effort angina, unstable angina, acute myocardial infarction (AMI), and sudden death [ 1 Yasue H.
