  • Title: [Syncope as a first manifestation of Prinzmetal's angina in a 49-year-old woman. A case report].
    Author: Krzciuk M, Wozakowska-Kapłon B.
    Journal: Kardiol Pol; 2006 Jul; 64(7):728-31; discussion 732. PubMed ID: 16886130.
    Abstract:
    A case of a 49-year-old woman with episodes of syncopes as a first manifestation of variant angina is presented. She was admitted to cardiology ward because of recurrent angina associated with marked ST segment elevation in the inferior and anterior electrocardiographic leads. Previously she was diagnosed at a neurological ward because of nocturnal syncopes without accompanying chest pain but with associated hypotonia and bradycardia of about 36 beats/min. Coronary arteriography revealed non-significant coronary stenosis of two vessels (left and right coronary artery) and coronary spasm close to these obstructions. Therapy with calcium channel blockers as well as giving up smoking eliminated the episodes of chest pain and syncope in a twelve-month follow-up.
