Variant angina in the setting of hypothyroidism and beta blockade: a proposed mechanism.

Abstract:

:Coronary artery spasm can occur in the presence of excessive alpha-adrenergic tone. A decrease in protective coronary vasodilator substance and enhanced alpha-adrenergic responsiveness, which occurs in the setting of hypothroidism and beta blockade, predisposes to coronary artery spasm. The case presented supports these concepts.
