The relationship between coronary vasospasticity and the development of atherosclerotic lesion was studied in 24 patients with vasospastic angina. All patients had no organic stenosis initially and underwent follow-up coronary angiography at 66 +/- 9 months after the initial examination. The coronary artery diameter was measured with the contour detection method. The spastic and non-spastic sites were identified at the initial coronary angiography with the acetylcholine provocation test. The change of the luminal diameter (delta LD) and the ratio of the change of luminal diameter (% delta LD) were compared at the spastic and the non-spastic sites. The follow-up examination showed significant decreases of coronary artery diameter in both the spastic (2.35 +/- 0.67 vs 2.16 +/- 0.58 mm, p < 0.001) and non-spastic sites (2.66 +/- 0.91 vs 2.54 +/- 0.84 mm, p = 0.02). However, delta LD and % delta LD were not different between the spastic and non-spastic sites (delta LD: -0.19 +/- 0.40 vs -0.12 +/- 0.46 mm, NS; % delta LD: -6.7 +/- 14.8% vs -3.2 +/- 17.0%, NS). In conclusion, coronary vasospasticity does not promote the development of atherosclerotic lesion.
