Invasive Evaluation for Coronary Vasospasm
نویسندگان
چکیده
Vasospastic angina (VSA) occurs at rest and on exertion, with transient electrocardiographic ischemic changes. VSA presents spontaneous coronary artery spasm (CAS); it has been associated stable angina, acute syndromes, sudden cardiac death. CAS can be identified in normal arteries or non-obstructive atherosclerosis, but is also prevalent patients disease. The diagnosis made invasive reactivity testing provocation using acetylcholine (Ach). Epicardial spasms visualized through angiography as a reversible epicardial vessel narrowing, while the of microvascular when symptoms ECG changes happen following intracoronary Ach without spasm. Identification allows for risk stratification specific therapies targeting endothelial dysfunction paradoxical vascular smooth muscle cell constriction. Therapies include calcium channel blockers monotherapy combination dihydropyridine non-dihydropyridine. Short-acting nitrates offer symptomatic relief long-acting should used sparingly. This current update evaluation discusses unified protocols.

A 50-year-old man, with chronic kidney disease and on dialysis, underwent coronary angiography in the context of acute coronary syndrome, which revealed focal lesions (type A) in the proximal left anterior descending and mid circumflex arteries. Ad-hoc angioplasty was performed on both lesions with direct stenting. An immediate drop in arterial blood pressure was observed and the angiogram show...
متن کاملRituximab-Induced Coronary Vasospasm
Rituximab has improved the treatment of B-cell non-Hodgkin lymphomas. While it is generally well tolerated, serious adverse effects including infusion reactions with hemodynamic compromise and cardiac arrhythmias or ischemia are possible. We report a case of coronary vasospasm occurring during a rituximab infusion in a patient with minimal tumour burden and who had no cardiac risk factors. This...
متن کاملCapecitabine-Induced Coronary Vasospasm
Capecitabine, an oral prodrug of 5-fluorouracil (5-FU), is approved for early-stage and advanced colorectal cancer and metastatic breast cancer. Cardiotoxicity of 5-FU is well described in the literature. However, cardiac adverse effects of capecitabine are poorly described. We report a case of coronary vasospasm induced by capecitabine. A 41-year-old female with metastatic breast cancer presen...
متن کاملNon-invasive evaluation of coronary vasospasm using a combined hyperventilation and cold-pressure-test perfusion CMR protocol.
Coronary vasospasm is a severe vasoconstriction of an epicardial coronary artery, which may lead to myocardial ischemia and cause symptoms of angina. The gold-standard for diagnosing coronary vasospasm is to perform an intracoronary provocation test and to demonstrate the epicardial vasoconstriction by coronary angiography. We report the case of a patient with coronary vasospasm in whom we succ...

BACKGROUND Cardiotoxicity is a rare but well-documented adverse effect of 5-fluorouracil (5-FU). The underlying cause of this side effect of 5-FU is uncertain. METHODS We present a case report of a 63-year-old man treated for metastatic colon cancer who experienced chest pain while being treated with the FOLFIRI regimen. This case report documents coronary artery spasm on catheterization obse...
