Abstract
Vasospastic angina results from temporary spasm of one or more coronary segments. Although prognosis of patients presenting with coronary vasospasm appears to be generally good, multivessel coronary vasospasm may increase the risk of life-threatening cardiac events.We present a case of a 51-year-old man admitted to the emergency room due to severe retrosternal pain, who was documented with multifocal coronary vasospasm.
