I'm not able to give more context I'm afraid. It's in a list of film titles associated with a nursing course. I know it's angina but I can't get the English for "Vaso-Espástica". Grateful for any assistance.

também pode colocar CORONARY no lugar de VESSEL. Acho que fica até melhor.

Encontrei muitas ocorrências para CORONARY SPASTIC ANGINA. É melhor desconsiderar o VESSEL então, apesar de estar correto, mas é menos comum.
Note from asker:
Thanks very much for your contribution. I liked your answer, but I eventually opted for vasospastic angina, although your answer is also good
