Implication

Case reports reveal multi-detector computed tomography coronary angiography and global longitudinal strain can identify coronary artery spasm in vasospastic angina patients, suggesting a novel approach.

Key Points

Multi-detector computed tomography coronary angiography is effective in diagnosing coronary artery spasm.
Two cases of vasospastic angina were confirmed using MDCTA and echocardiographic global longitudinal strain.
Noninvasive methods like MDCTA and LV GLS can provide significant insights into myocardial ischemia.
This approach is particularly useful in the emergency setting for patients with spontaneous vasospasm.
