Angina due to coronary artery spasm (variant angina): diagnosis and intervention strategies
Expert Rev Cardiovasc Ther. 2021 Oct 28:1-11. doi: 10.1080/14779072.2021.1991314. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTINTRODUCTION: Since Prinzmetal first described a 'variant' form of angina pectoris, with predominantly resting episodes of pain and cyclic severity variations, it has gradually become apparent that this clinical presentation is caused by episodes of coronary artery spasm (CAS) involving focal or diffuse changes in large and/or small coronary arteries in the presence or absence of 'fixed' coronary artery stenoses. However, most clinicians have only limited understanding of this group of disorders.AREAS COVERED: We...

Allergic Myocardial Infarction: An Unusual Cause of Stent Thrombosis
J Invasive Cardiol. 2021 Sep;33(9):E758-E759.ABSTRACTOur case confirms that an allergic insult can cause an acute myocardial infarction in a stable coronary disease setting. It also suggests that type 3 Kounis syndrome must be suspected in cases of apparently unexplained "very late" stent thrombosis.PMID:34473080 (Source: The Journal of Invasive Cardiology)
