VASOSPASTIC ANGINA: CONTEMPORARY DIAGNOSTICS AND TREATMENT STRATEGIES (LITERATURE REVIEW)

https://doi.org/10.51523/2708-6011.2007-4-3-4

Abstract

Coronary artery disease has been remaining a leading cause of morbidity and mortality in developed countries. Vasospastic angina indicates a form of angina caused by coronary artery spasm. Early diagnosis of variant angina is crucial to avoid major cardiac events (sudden death, myocardial infarction). Therapy with calcium-antagonists and nitrates is effective in the vast majority of patients. In refractory patients potential interventions include the newest generations of drugs and coronary stenting.
