    Area of Science:

    • Cardiology
    • Critical Care Nursing

    Background:

    • Variant angina is an atypical form of angina.
    • It results from coronary artery spasm, disrupting myocardial blood and oxygen supply.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To highlight the role of critical care nurses in managing variant angina.
    • To emphasize the importance of rapid intervention in preventing severe complications.

    Main Methods:

    • Review of clinical presentation and pathophysiology of variant angina.
    • Discussion of nursing interventions in diagnosis and treatment.

    Main Results:

    • Coronary artery spasm causes significant hemodynamic changes.
    • These changes can include life-threatening dysrhythmias and left ventricular dysfunction.

    Conclusions:

    • Critical care nurses are essential for the timely diagnosis and treatment of variant angina.
    • Rapid intervention is key to mitigating symptoms and preventing adverse events.
