Coronary Artery Spasm
Reviewed by the medical team of El Doctor Editorial policy
Coronary artery spasm is a sudden and transient contraction of the walls of these arteries, which momentarily reduces blood flow to the heart. It can occur even at rest.
Common symptoms: pain or pressure in the chest, which sometimes spreads to the arm or jaw, and which tends to appear suddenly.
When to seek care? Any intense or repeated chest pain requires evaluation without delay, since the heart deserves careful attention.
Who studies it? The cardiologist is the specialist who evaluates the function of the heart and its arteries. If you experience episodes of chest pain, it is advisable to discuss them with a cardiologist who can review your situation appropriately.
