New to Vasospastic/Prinzmetal Angina

[Bartymus]

I found this community while looking for information on angina pectoris. Looking for anything recent/new on treatments or pharmaceuticals for vasospastic angina. I am pretty much self directed as far as my health care goes, with good cooperation from my GP. I avoid cardiologists as too many of them are "committed interventionists". I worked at RAF Croughton and lived in Bicester for six years and loved every minute of it. I would love to correspond with anyone including medical practitioners who keep abreast of current treatments for various angina variants. How about someone familiar with Souldern 1976-1982?

Hello Bartymus,

Welcome to the forum.

Can I ask why you feel you may live with Vasospastic angina?

Vasospastic angina is rarer type of angina.

My vasospastic angina was confirmed by a specialised angiogram.

My condition is managed by medication, following a heart healthy lifestyle, non pharmacological techniques eg, yoga, meditation, stress reduction and exercise. With as my Cardiologist says hospital admission as a backup.

Vasospastic angina is a complex condition and requires the input of an experienced Cardiologist.

The BHF has this information about vasospastic angina and Microvascular angina another type of non obstructive coronary artery disease NOCAD.
