dc.description.abstract | Coronary artery spasm is an accepted cause of transient myocardial ischaemia in patients with variant angina. The electrocardiographic abnormality, ST segment elevation, which is a hallmark of this syndrome, resembles that seen experimentally when the animal coronary artery is ligated and clinically, when the human coronary artery is totally occluded by a balloon angioplasty catheter. Coronary artery spasm is defined as a severe localized constriction sufficiently profound to cause transient total or sub-total occlusion of an epicardial coronary artery resulting in myocardial ischaemia. Coronary artery spasm has also been suggested to play an important role in the pathophysiology of myocardial ischaemia throughout the wide clinical spectrum of coronary artery disease including effort angina, unstable angina, acute myocardial infarction and sudden death. | en_GB |
