Abstract
Prinzmetal angina occurs due to a focal spasm of an epicardial coronary artery, causing severe myocardial ischemia. Smooth muscle contractility disorders may be related to a cause of the disease, however, this is not yet well defined in the literature. The prognosis might be benign, and this case report is an important means for disseminating knowledge about decision-making and describing the diagnostic process and therapeutic approaches. Despite being a rare type of angina, it has considerable challenges, which, if left untreated, can produce severe consequences in the patient’s life. It was possible to observe that chest pain related to causes worsening in the patient’s quality of life and the possibility of causing myocardial infarction, arrhythmia even sudden death.
