Spontaneous remission in variant angina.

Four cases of variant angina are reported, in which total remission of anginal pain was documented during a follow-up of seven months, four years, five years, and 15 years, respectively. During this relatively long follow-up, the clinical course of the disease was apparently benign. The possibility of spontaneously and complete recovery may be postulated. The natural history of relatively benign forms a variant angina is poorly known and understood.
