To treat Coronary artery spasms, Diagnostic imaging tests have to be
done. They include:
? Electrocardiogram (ECG ) : to measure electrical activity of
the heart
? Echocardiogram : to measure sound waves
? Coronary angiography : to measure blood flow of the heart
The main aim of the treatment for coronary artery spasms is to relieve
chest pain. The following medications can be prescribed to relieve
chest pain
? Nitrates
Nitrates help to dilate arteries so that the blood flows through the
arteries well
? L-arginine
This is a dietary supplement which prevents constrictions of the
arteries.
? Calcium channel blockers
They can reduce chest tightness and squeezing of the chest by
relaxing arterial muscle.
