Vasospastic angina is a common condition. In cases of poor therapeutic response, less common causes should be explored.
A 50-year-old woman with vasospastic angina was diagnosed with significant fluctuation in response to treatment without explanation that led to the suspicion of an allergic phenomenon. A diagnosis of hereditary alpha-tryptasaemia was made, and introduction of a second-generation H1-antihistamine has enabled effective control of previously treatment-resistant vasospastic coronary disease.
The case shows the first time the involvement of hereditary alpha-tryptasaemia in vasospastic angina. Future pathophysiological investigations will be needed to further explore the connection between these two pathologies.
变异性心绞痛是一种常见病症。对于治疗反应不佳的病例,应探寻较罕见的病因。
一名患有变异性心绞痛的50岁女性被诊断出对治疗的反应存在显著波动且原因不明,这引发了对过敏现象的怀疑。诊断为遗传性α-色胺血症,引入第二代H1抗组胺药后有效控制了先前难治的变异性冠状动脉疾病。
该病例首次表明遗传性α-色胺血症与变异性心绞痛有关。未来需要进行病理生理学研究以进一步探索这两种病症之间的联系。
