Excerpt

Vasospastic angina is a type of angina caused by coronary artery spasm. Hyperventilation is a well-known stimulus for coronary vasospasm as well as exposure to cold and smoking [1, 2]. Direct measurement of coronary flow using transthoracic Doppler echocardiography can provide important coronary physiological information [3, 4]. …
