A case report of a novel approach to the management of refractory coronary vasospasm
The case presented highlights the diagnostics challenges and treatment complexity in managing refractory coronary vasospasm in which our patient experienced a good long-term outcome despite high risk features. Steroids are infrequently used in the management of coronary vasospasm but represent a life-saving treatment option in the setting presumed inflammation. Wearable cardiac defibrillator can be used to both investigate and prevent fatal arrhythmia and should be considered in high-risk coronary vasospasm cohorts.
