Coronary Artery Vasospasm in Patients With Eosinophilia

Abstract

Coronary vasospasm is a relatively well-documented cause for ischemia and myocardial infarction in patients with nonobstructive coronary artery disease. Patients with coexisting eosinophilia present with severe manifestations and are often refractory to traditional therapies. There are few reported cases in the literature. We describe 3 cases occurring within 10 months. (Level of Difficulty: Intermediate.)
