Coronary artery spasm (CAS) plays an important role in the pathogeneses of various ischemic heart diseases and has gradually become a common cause of life-threatening arrhythmia. The specific molecular mechanism of CAS has not been fully elucidated, nor are there any specific diagnostic markers for the condition. Therefore, this study aimed to examine the specific molecular mechanism underlying CAS, and screen for potential diagnostic markers. To this end, we successfully constructed a rat CAS model and achieved in vitro culture of a human coronary-artery smooth-muscle cell (hCASMC) contraction model...
