Coronary microvascular spasm in patients with vasospastic angina

(1) study is in keeping with the spasm of resistance vessel (S-RV) concept of ischemic heart disease (IHD) (2-5), which asserts that S-RV induces symptoms in all syndromes of IHD and in cases with and without coronary artery disease (CAD). In IHD associated with CAD, symptoms are attributed to the r...

Description
Summary:(1) study is in keeping with the spasm of resistance vessel (S-RV) concept of ischemic heart disease (IHD) (2-5), which asserts that S-RV induces symptoms in all syndromes of IHD and in cases with and without coronary artery disease (CAD). In IHD associated with CAD, symptoms are attributed to the risk factor of CAD plus other risk factors such as stress; consistent with this, induced stress can cause myocardial ischemia in individuals with stable angina (9,10).
