Sudden cardiac death from coronary artery spasm in a healthy subject

M A Tecce et al. Cathet Cardiovasc Diagn. 1994 Jun.

Abstract

The true incidence of sudden cardiac death (SCD) from coronary artery spasm is unknown. The following case involves SCD in a previously asymptomatic young man with reasonable evidence to implicate coronary artery spasm as a potential cause for his clinical event. Ergonovine provocation may be warranted in patients who present with SCD and no discernable cause.
