  • Title: Vasospastic angina without flow-limiting coronary lesions as a cause for aborted sudden death.
    Author: Lacroix D, Kacet S, Lekieffre J.
    Journal: Int J Cardiol; 1994 Mar 01; 43(3):247-9. PubMed ID: 8181882.
    Abstract:
    Two patients resuscitated from out-of-hospital cardiac arrest were later found to have minor coronary atherosclerosis and no inducible ventricular arrhythmia. Coronary spasm was not elicited during provocative tests but occurred on introduction of the catheter in the right coronary artery and spontaneously recurred after resuscitation, leading to myocardial infarction in one patient. Both patients received an implantable cardioverter defibrillator and subsequent discharges, while receiving calcium antagonists.
