Who might get a coronary artery spasm?

If you have risk factors for heart disease, you also have risk factors for a coronary artery spasm. The most common risk factors include:

• High blood pressure (hypertension).
• High cholesterol (hyperlipidemia).
• Smoking or using tobacco products.
• Recreational drug use.

Many people who don’t have high blood pressure or high cholesterol experience coronary artery spasms. Often, these people smoke regularly.
