“Variant” angina: One aspect of a continuous spectrum of vasospastic myocardial ischemia: Pathogenetic Mechanisms, Estimated Incidence and Clinical and Coronary Arteriographic Findings in 138 Patients

TL;DR: Angiography in all 37 patients studied during angina revealed a severe coronary vasospasm involving vessels with extremely variable extent of atherosclerosis, which may evolve into acute myocardial infarction and sudden death.
Journal ArticleDOI

Coronary vasospasm as a possible cause of myocardial infarction. A conclusion derived from the study of "preinfarction" angina.

TL;DR: In all 76 patients who underwent hemodynamic monitoring, 201thallium myocardial scintigraphy or angiography during angina, a vasospastic origin of the attacks was documented, and after infarction, complete thrombotic occlusion of the branch shown to undergo vasospasm was documented in two patients by angiographic.
Journal ArticleDOI

Prognostic Role of Myocardial Blood Flow Impairment in Idiopathic Left Ventricular Dysfunction

TL;DR: It is demonstrated that severely depressed MBF is a predictor of poor prognosis in patients with idiopathic LV dysfunction independently of the degree of LV functional impairment and of the presence of overt heart failure.
Journal ArticleDOI

Transient transmural reduction of myocardial blood flow demonstrated by thallium-201 scintigraphy, as a cause of variant angina.

TL;DR: Regional myocardial perfusion in six patients admitted to the coronary care unit was studied, and variant angina appears to be caused by massive transmural reduction of myocardIAL blood supply.
