Prinzmetal variant angina due to epicardial coronary artery spasm is a disease usually treated with drug therapy with successful results. However, a small percentage of patients are resistant to medical therapy. In this report, we present a patient with recurrent vasospastic episodes who was refractory to conventional pharmacological treatment and successfully treated with an amiodarone treatment. We also discuss the therapeutic effectiveness of amiodarone therapy for vasospastic angina.
