Refractory vasospastic angina in a patient with autoimmune hepatitis managed by using combined non-invasive provocation tests: A case report.

Unlabelled: Corticosteroids have emerged as a feasible treatment option for patients with refractory vasospastic angina (VSA) who have an allergic disease or hypereosinophilia. However, reports on VSA following the administration of corticosteroids are scarce.
