Abstract

Vasospastic angina (VSA) is one of the important functional cardiac disorders characterized by transient myocardial ischemia due to epicardial coronary artery spasm. In this chapter, I review the clinical features of VSA including pathophysiology, diagnosis, treatments, and prognosis. Furthermore, I also refer to the evidence of microvascular angina.
