2020, Annals of Emergency MedicineCitation Excerpt :Although the complete pathophysiology behind coronary vasospasm is unknown, vasospasm leads to transient myocardial ischemia and can cause devastating cardiac abnormalities, including ventricular arrhythmias, asystole, and third-degree atrioventricular block. These serious complications can occur in patients without evidence of severe organic coronary disease.2 Traditional risk factors include female sex, smoking, cocaine use, and Japanese heritage.
