Brief Summary
-----------------

To evaluate the effect of long-term Vitamin C+E and statin therapy on regression of atheroma in target coronary vessels via intravascular ultrasound. To find out the role of vascular endothelium in variant angina via evaluating long-term Vitamin C+E and statin therapy on improvement in vascular endothelial function by assessing brachial arterial expansion capability. To find out the role of vascular endothelium in variant angina via evaluating long-term Vitamin C+E and statin therapy on improvement in arterial stiffness by assessing pulse wave velocity(PWV)

Detailed Description
-----------------
Study Design: Prospective, open label, Four-arm, randomized single-center trial to test the effect long-term Vitamin C+E and Statin therapy on vasospasm improvement and regression of atheroma in patients with variant angina. After provocation test, patients will be classified into three groups.(See below) Negative group : Patients who have symptoms that are consistent with vasospastic angina but only show luminal narrowing less than 50% on coronary angiography during provocation test. Mild Spastic group : Patients who have symptoms that are consistent with vasospastic angina and show luminal narrowing over 50% to less than 90% on coronary angiography during provocation test. Severe Spastic group : Patients who have symptoms that are consistent with vasospastic angina and show luminal narrowing over 90% on coronary angiography during provocation test. In each group (except for patient in Negative group), patients will be randomized in a two by two factorial manner according to the study drug therapy (Vitamin C+E vs. no Vitamin C+E) (Statin vs. no Statin) As a result, patients in each group(except for patient in Negative group) will be randomized to 4 treatment subgroups, which are Control subgroup : Standard medication for Variant angina only Vitamin subgroup : Standard medication + Vitamin C+E Statin subgroup : Standard medication + Statin Dual subgroup : Standard medication + Vitamin C+E + Statin Patients in Negative group will be prescribed only for standard medication for variant angina. Patient Enrollment: Recruiting 300 patients(100 patients for each group, as 25 patients for each subgroups) from September 2014 through February 2021 at single center in Korea(Seoul National University Hospital) Patient Follow-Up: Clinical follow-up will occur at 1, and 6 months, and at 2, 4, and 6 years. Investigator or designee may conduct follow-up as telephone contacts or office visits.
