| Emergency department (Day 1) | The patient presented with sudden chest pain at rest in the early morning. |
| Electrocardiography showed an obvious ST-segment elevation in the leads I, aVL, and V1–5. | |
| Emergent coronary angiography (CAG) was performed due to acute ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction. CAG showed severe stenosis in the proximal portion of the left anterior descending coronary artery (LAD). Following administration of 5 mg isosorbide dinitrate, resolution of both LAD stenosis and ST-segment elevation were confirmed; thus, we established a diagnosis of vasospastic angina. | |
| Day 5 | The patient was discharged. He was administered benidipine (4 mg/day), isosorbide mononitrate (40 mg/day), and rosuvastatin (2.5 mg/day) and was free from any chest symptoms at the time of discharge. |
| Day 11 | He had further chest pain and was taken to out hospital. His symptoms had already improved because of nitroglycerine administration before transport. Nicorandil (15 mg/day) and nifedipine (40 mg/day) were added to his medication regimen in the outpatient department. Following this, he had multiple recurrences of chest pain. |
| Day 32 | He was hospitalized for titration of medication. |
| Day 36 | Chest pain occurred and electrocardiography showed an obvious ST-segment elevation in the leads I, aVL, and V1–5. Emergent CAG showed severe organic stenosis; therefore, percutaneous coronary intervention was performed. |
| Day 39 | He was discharged and dual antiplatelet therapy with prasugrel and aspirin was initiated. |
| 1 year | He remained symptom-free. |
