Abstract Summary

Identical twins with no traditional heart risk factors both developed coronary artery spasm (CAS), showing spontaneous spasms in multiple coronary vessels. This rare case provides compelling evidence for genetic predisposition to CAS and underscores the importance of screening family members—especially identical twins—when one is diagnosed with vasospastic angina.

Why Brain? 🧠

Identical twins with no cardiac risk factors both developed rare left main coronary artery spasm, providing evidence for genetic predisposition and highlighting the need for family screening in vasospastic angina cases.
