Name that Coronary Artery Disease part 1 with Dr Joey McGrath
Kia ora Team,
Spoiler alert
This is Vasospastic angina / Variant angina / Prinzmetal angina.
The coronary artery undergoes vasospasm
This leads to ischaemia of the myocardium and therefore angina (chest pain)
Blood cardiac troponin testing will be negative because there is no infarction (cell death)
Happy studying,
Ben
