[Vasospastic angina].
Vasospastic angina is associated with ventricular arrhythmias, acute myocardial infarction and sudden arrhythmic death. The main ischemic mechanism in vasospastic angina is coronary spasm. Because the demonstration of spontaneous coronary spasm is difficult, a number of methods which can provoke spasm in susceptible patients were imagined. The most used clinical methods of diagnostic provocation testing were analyzed.
