Coronary artery spasm: clinical experience and implications. 1983

R Ginsburg

Although coronary vasospasm may occur in vessels that arteriographically appear fully patent, histologically there is virtually always some evidence of atherosclerotic lesions. Whether or not atherosclerosis can be angiographically documented, all patients with coronary vasospasm require therapy. Calcium channel blockers may actually alter the course of the disease process as well as relieve symptoms.

D004562	Electrocardiography	Recording of the moment-to-moment electromotive forces of the HEART as projected onto various sites on the body's surface, delineated as a scalar function of time. The recording is monitored by a tracing on slow moving chart paper or by observing it on a cardioscope, which is a CATHODE RAY TUBE DISPLAY.	12-Lead ECG,12-Lead EKG,12-Lead Electrocardiography,Cardiography,ECG,EKG,Electrocardiogram,Electrocardiograph,12 Lead ECG,12 Lead EKG,12 Lead Electrocardiography,12-Lead ECGs,12-Lead EKGs,12-Lead Electrocardiographies,Cardiographies,ECG, 12-Lead,EKG, 12-Lead,Electrocardiograms,Electrocardiographies, 12-Lead,Electrocardiographs,Electrocardiography, 12-Lead
