Description

Background

- Prinzmetal angina is a transient, reversible form of acute coronary syndrome

• Characterized by coronary artery spasms that can lead to myocardial ischemia
• Hypothesized that this phenomenon is secondary to coronary hyperreactivity from endothelial or smooth muscle dysfunction¹

- Patients with Prinzmetal angina are at high risk during surgery

• Up to 50% of patients may experience myocardial infarction, fatal arrhythmia, or unstable angina during non-cardiac surgery²
• Limited data looking at postoperative outcomes in patients with Prinzmetal angina

- Goal: Evaluate whether individuals with Prinzmetal angina are at greater risk of mortality, myocardial infarction, and arrhythmia during abdominal surgery
