Variant Angina
Variant angina, also called Prinzmetal angina, is a type of chest pain caused by a transient spasm of the arteries that carry blood to the heart. Unlike other forms of angina, it usually appears at rest, often at night or in the early morning.
Common symptoms: It is characterized by pain or pressure in the chest that may extend to the arm or jaw and that eases after a few minutes.
When to see a doctor? Any recurrent chest pain, especially at rest, requires evaluation; a severe or prolonged episode should be treated as an emergency.
Which specialist treats it? The cardiologist is the one who studies variant angina and distinguishes its cause from other sources of chest pain. Do not let this kind of discomfort go unaddressed: a timely evaluation is essential.
