Okay, so here we go, from Sebastian, “A 38-year-old male, has a history of asthma and food allergies. More recently, he’s having frequent episodes of angina pectoris with normal coronary angiography. Cardiologist is treating them with nitrates and calcium antagonist. Could Prinzmetal angina linked to some immune dysfunction, also related to gut dysfunction?”

Amy Nett: Yes, it sounds like it certainly could be. I think you’re probably on the right track there. I think that’s really reassuring that angiography is completely normal, so, yes, it sounds like it certainly could be the Prinzmetal angina.
