What is angina pectoris?

Angina pectoris with documented spasm (syn. Prinzmetal's angina or coronary artery vasospasm). It usually occurs spontaneously, and unlike typical angina, it nearly always occurs when a person is at rest and does not require physical exertion. It frequently is associated with transient st-segment elevation.

What is prinzmetal's angina?

Variant angina, also called Prinzmetal angina, isn't due to coronary artery disease. It's caused by a spasm in the heart's arteries that temporarily reduces blood flow. Severe chest pain is the main symptom of variant angina. It most often occurs in cycles, typically at rest and overnight.

Is Prinzmetal angina the same as variant angina?

Prinzmetal (or Prinzmetal's) angina is also called variant angina, angina inversa and vasospastic angina. Angina is the term used to describe chest pain caused by inadequate blood flow to the heart muscle, usually caused by coronary artery disease.

What is the difference between unstable angina and Prinzmetal angina?

Unstable angina occurs suddenly and worsens over time. Variant angina (Prinzmetal) – occurs at rest without any underlying coronary artery disease. It is typically due to an abnormal narrowing or spasm of the blood vessels which reduces blood flow to the heart. It can often be relieved by medication.

Is Prinzmetal angina a heart disease?

Prinzmetal angina, or variant angina, is caused by such a spasm in a coronary artery. These spasms can produce ischemia (oxygen starvation) in the part of the heart muscle supplied by the affected artery, and the symptoms of angina follow.

How is Prinzmetal angina diagnosed?

It is diagnosed by history, electrocardiogram, or coronary-artery angiography. Provocative tests, such as the cold-pressor test or intravenous ergonovine maleate, are sometimes used to aid diagnosis of PVA.

What are the 3 types of angina?

There are three types of angina:Stable angina is the most common type. It happens when the heart is working harder than usual. ... Unstable angina is the most dangerous. It does not follow a pattern and can happen without physical exertion. ... Variant angina is rare. It happens when you are resting.

Why beta-blockers are contraindicated in Prinzmetal angina?

Beta-blockers can increase coronary artery spasm and cause chest pain so they are contraindicated in these patients.

What is the drug of choice for Prinzmetal angina?

Drugs such as calcium antagonists and nitrates are the mainstays of treatment.

Which calcium channel blocker is used for Prinzmetal angina?

Nifedipine, diltiazem, and verapamil are all highly and equally effective in reducing painful and painless ischemic episodes in Prinzmetal's variant angina.

What are the four types of angina?

Types of AnginaStable angina.Unstable angina.Microvascular Angina.Vasospastic or variant angina.

How long does Prinzmetal angina last?

Disease at a Glance Episodes of PVA can be very painful, and may last from several minutes to thirty minutes. In some cases the pain may spread from the chest to the head, shoulder, or arm. The pain associated with PVA is caused by a spasm in the arteries that supply blood to the heart muscle (coronary arteries).

What is variant angina?

Prinzmetal angina (vasospastic angina or variant angina) is a known clinical condition characterized by chest discomfort or pain at rest with transient electrocardiographic changes in the ST segment, and with a prompt response to nitrates. These symptoms occur due to abnormal coronary artery spasm.

Prinzmetal's variant angina (PVA) is characterized by recurrent episodes of chest pain (angina) that usually occur when a person is at rest, between midnight and early morning. Typical angina, by contrast, is often triggered by physical exertion or emotional stress.

What is the ICD code for angina pectoris?

I20.1 is a billable ICD code used to specify a diagnosis of angina pectoris with documented spasm. A 'billable code' is detailed enough to be used to specify a medical diagnosis.

What is the name of the condition that causes chest pain?

It is caused by vasospasm, a narrowing of the coronary arteries caused by contraction of the smooth muscle tissue in the vessel walls rather than directly by atherosclerosis (buildup of fatty plaque and hardening of the arteries).

What is billable code?
