We have come to recognize syndromes associated with impaired circulation in coronary, cerebral and mesenteric arteries, and the larger arteries to the limbs. Thromboses of major arteries, when they occur suddenly and involve a vital or accessible structure whose function is impaired, are recognized quickly. Spasmodic or organic obstruction of vessels is suggested by the clinical features of the...Bibliography1. Pickering GW: Vascular spasm, Lancet 2: 845, 1951. CrossrefMedlineGoogle Scholar2.
