Abstract

We have seen a case with spasm of the right coronary artery coming on during exercise ergometry in the course of a coronary arteriogram. The patient had angina pectoris spontaneously and on exercise. Bicycle ergometry was repeated four times by the same method, and was positive in three; in two of these there was angina and ST elevation in II, III, aVF, and ST depression in I, aVL and V2 to V5. On one occasion the test was negative, the patient having taken a trinitrin tablet one hour before the test. Repeating the exercise test during coronary arteriography showed spasm of the right coronary artery and elevation of the segment ST in II, III and aVF; this disappeared after trinitrin treatment.
