A Case Of Vasospastic Angina. Vasospasm Physiopathology: A New Therapeutic Role For Ranolazine?

We report the case of a 40 years-old man, transferred from another hospital to our Intensive Care Unit because of acute coronary syndrome. Coronarography did not show coronary stenosis. 24-hours monitoring EKG allowed diagnosis of Prinzmetal angina and appropriate therapy was administered. Six months after discharge, due to recurrence of symptoms, ranolazine was added to the therapy. After one year patient is symptoms free.
