❤️ Coronary Artery Spasm – Type of Angina
Let’s understand this in a very simple way.
What is coronary artery spasm?
It is a sudden narrowing of coronary artery due to muscle contraction.
👉 This reduces blood flow to the heart temporarily.
Which condition is caused by spasm?
✅ Correct Answer: (b) Variant angina
Why variant angina?
Variant angina (also called Prinzmetal angina) occurs due to:
- Coronary artery spasm
- Usually happens at rest
- Temporary reduction in blood flow
Why other options are not correct?
- (a) Stable angina → ❌ Due to fixed blockage (atherosclerosis)
- (c) Unstable angina → ❌ Due to plaque rupture
- (d) Myocardial infarction → ❌ Due to prolonged blockage, not spasm
Simple Exam Trick:
Spasm → Sudden → Variant (Prinzmetal) angina
