  Objective: Chest symptoms in patients with vasospastic angina (VSA) typically occur during rest. However, we have occasionally experienced patients with VSA who have had chest symptoms even during exercise. However, factors contributing to the chest symptoms during exercise in patients with VSA remain unclear. Therefore, we investigated this relationship. Methods: We investigated 101 patients with VSA (mean age: 67 years, 51 males and 50 females).

Patients were divided into the two groups: Group I consisted of patients with VSA whose chest symptoms occurred only at rest (n=85, 84%) and Group II consisted of patients with VSA whose chest symptoms occurred during exercise (n=16, 16%).
