The authors report 2 patients with vasospastic angina in whom alcohol ingestion was effective in preventing angina. Coronary angiography revealed no organic coronary stenosis but demonstrated coronary artery spasm during angina attacks. In 1 patient, alcohol ingestion every six hours completely suppressed frequent spontaneous angina. In the other patient, alcohol ingestion markedly prolonged the duration of the exercise on treadmill testing by preventing exercise-induced coronary spasm.
