Variant angina associated with a CGRP receptor antagonist: a case report

This case suggests that atogepant may be associated with coronary vasospasm in patients with cardiovascular risk factors. Given CGRP's role as a potent vasodilator, its blockade may predispose to vasospasm in vulnerable individuals. Caution and close monitoring are warranted when prescribing CGRP receptor antagonists, particularly in those with cardiovascular comorbidities.
