Pharmacological coronary spasm provocative testing in clinical practice: A French Coronary Atheroma and Interventional Cardiology Group (GACI) position paper
Résumé
Highlights •VSA is common and is involved in many clinical scenarios. •These include chronic and acute coronary syndromes, SCD, arrhythmia and syncope. •VSA is underdiagnosed and provocative tests are rarely performed. •A lack of uniform protocol decreases the use and performance of provocative tests. •This accounts for VSA underestimation. •This GACI position paper gives clear indications for provocative tests. •The paper also addresses testing conditions, drug protocols and positivity criteria.
