Structural Thickening of Medial Layer in Coronary Artery With Spasm in Patients With Myocardial Infarction

Structural Thickening of Medial Layer in Coronary Artery With Spasm in Patients With Myocardial Infarction

Background The underlying pathophysiology of coronary artery spasm (CAS) remains unclear. We aim to determine whether coronary artery medial layer thickness is associated with CAS using optical coherence tomography. Methods and Results A total of 50 patients with previous myocardial infarction under...
