Good prognosis: If you have no other coronary artery disease and your vasospasm is responding to your current medications, your prognosis is good. Your cardiologist is the best person to advise you however.

May be normal: The seriousness can be diagnosed with cariac catheterization utilizing some chems that can precipitate coronary vasospasm. 2. Life expectancy in patient with this condition is similar to that of the general population, meaning that there is no increased mortality. 3. The only way to treat this condition is by eliminating stress, tobacco exposure, staying away form cold temps and taking meds.
