Do electrocardiographic changes induced during intracoronary vasospasm provocation testing reflect those during spontaneous angina episodes in patients with vasospastic angina?: a case series.
Rutger G T FeenstraLotte S TimmermanJan J PiekMarcel A M BeijkPublished in: European heart journal. Case reports (2024)
In patients with VSA, the ECG at the height of a spontaneous episode and during acetylcholine-induced coronary artery spasm may differ substantially. In patients with symptoms suspicious of VSA, every effort should be undertaken to obtain ECGs during the height of a spontaneous episode of angina pectoris and there should be a low threshold to perform intracoronary function testing.
