Spasm of the radial artery is the most important cause of failure to perform coronary angiography via the transradial approach. Spasmolytic cocktail may prevent radial artery spasm but is relatively contraindicated in patients with aortic stenosis or diminished left ventricular function. In this case report we describe a recently published technique to overcome severe radial spasm during transr...

Hemifacial spasm is a socially disabling condition that manifests as intermittent involuntary twitching of the eyelid and progresses to muscle contractions of the entire hemiface. Patients receiving microvascular decompression of the facial nerve demonstrate an abnormal lateral spread response (LSR) in peripheral branches during facial electromyography. The authors retrospectively evaluate the ...

Rationale: A novel COVID-19 with a severe acute respiratory syndrome or pneumonia had arisen in Wuhan, China December 2019. Emerging atrial fibrillation patients is highly significant cardiovascular medicine. newly coronary artery spasm the presentation of infection has certainly risk impact on both morbidity and mortality patients. Wavy triple an electrocardiographic sign (Yasser Sign) innovat...

A 48-year-old man developed severe chest pain and became unconscious. Coronary cineangiography revealed single coronary artery of the type L2b by Sharbaugh and White. Ergonovine, 0.2 mg i.v., produced coronary arterial spasm in the right coronary artery. This case suggests that coronary arterial spasm might be a cause of sudden death in patients with single coronary artery. However, an associat...

Spasm of the near reflex, as first described by Cogan in 1955, is a triad of intermittent convergent strabismus, accommodative spasm, and pupillary miosis. The accommodative spasm induces pseudo-myopia that is usually accompanied by visual blurring. It is a functional disorder that has been attributed to hysteria, although it can have an organic etiology. Definitive treatment remains problemati...

Focal coronary spasm is often associated with an area of mural plaque disease. This report describes a patient with recurrent severe coronary spasm unresponsive to medical treatment. Coronary arteriography and intravascular ultrasound identified a candidate area of minor coronary atheromatous disease but ergonovine provocation testing showed the spastic coronary segment to be distal to and dist...

A prospective, interventional study was carried out on all the patients of Essential Blepharospasm Symdrome, Hemifacial Spasm and Meige’s syndrome who underwent treatment with botulinum toxin A in BP Koirala Lions Centre for Ophthalmic studies during a study period of one and half years. Pretreatment grading of the spasm was done with Jankovic spasm grading and post treatment response was seen ...

We injected acetylcholine (ACh), the neurotransmitter of the parasympathetic nervous system, into the coronary arteries of 28 patients with variant angina. Injection of 10 to 80 micrograms ACh into the coronary artery responsible for the attack induced spasm together with chest pain and ST segment elevation or depression on the electrocardiogram in 30 of the 32 arteries of the 25 of the 27 pati...

Experimental Study on the Genesis of Cerebral Vasospasm • The cerebral vasospasm produced by blood, fractions of blood, and blood-borne agents administered intracisternally was studied arteriographically to attain a better understanding of the genesis of vasospasm. The results indicate this phenomenon is multifarious in origin, involving a number of spasmogens. Whole blood, platelets, platelet ...

was administered directly into the graft with complete relief of pain and resolution of ST segment elevation. Angiography of the graft (Fig. 2, C) now revealed the graft to be patent; there was normal distal runoff from the graft with a 75”; obstructive lesion of the native RCA just distal to the site of graft insertion. Subsequently, pain again developed associated with ST segment elevation. G...
