    Area of Science:

    • Cardiology
    • Clinical Medicine

    Background:

    • Prinzmetal's angina is characterized by myocardial ischemia.
    • Hyperventilation can reproducibly induce ischemic episodes.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To evaluate the hyperventilation test's utility in selecting treatments for Prinzmetal's angina.
    • To assess the safety and efficacy of the hyperventilation test.

    Main Methods:

    • 111 hyperventilation tests were performed on 10 patients with Prinzmetal's angina.
    • Tests were conducted under control conditions and during treatment with various drugs.
    • Electrocardiographic changes and chest pain were monitored.

    Main Results:

    • Negative hyperventilation tests predicted favorable clinical responses to corresponding drugs.

  • 17 of 18 negative tests correlated with complete remission of angina.
  • No deaths or myocardial infarctions occurred during the 10.9-month follow-up.

    • Conclusions:

    • The hyperventilation test is a safe and useful tool for selecting optimal drug therapy for Prinzmetal's angina.
    • The test aids in comparing the efficacy of different anti-anginal medications.
    • The precise mechanism of hyperventilation-induced coronary spasm requires further investigation.
