  • Title: [Ischemic cardiopathy with normal epicardial coronary arteries. Probable spasm of the coronary arteries. A case report].
    Author: Jorge PA, Bolsonaro LR, Jorge LR.
    Journal: Arq Bras Cardiol; 1989 Feb; 52(2):95-7. PubMed ID: 2596995.
    Abstract:
    The authors discuss the case of a young woman, with chest pain at rest and normal coronary arteries. Sixty-three days after the onset of the symptoms the patient had a myocardial infarction. The coronariogram showed obstruction of the left coronary artery in its full length. The authors consider that a coronary spasm was the cause of the infarction. It is very likely that independent of personal characteristics, coronary spasm may be persistent, involve the whole extent of the vessel and occur even with use of vasodilator drugs.
