Diagnosis and Treatment of Prinzmetal Angina

Video Supplement to “Prinzmetal Angina Mimicking Severe Three-Vessel Coronary Artery Disease,” by Dahdouh and Mohamed (September 2020 Clinical Images).

Coronary artery vasospasm, or Prinzmetal angina, is a constriction of the coronary arteries that can cause complete or near-complete occlusion of the vessel.
