[Prinzmetal angina and syncope]

Abstract

Authors report an unusual case of variant angina associated with unconsciousness. They were able to prove by coronary angiography the vasospasm of the circumflexus artery which was responsible for the morning attacks of the 35 year old patient with unconsciousness, ST segment elevation and high degree AV block. Unconsciousness was the first and earliest sign of the coronary vasospasm.
