Myocardial imaging in a patient with reproducible variant angina
Abstract
A unique case is presented of variant angina pectoris with reproducible chest pain and S-T segment elevation in the immediate postexercise period and with normal coronary arteries. Coronary arterial spasm was deomnstrated with arteriography after intravenous administration of ergonivine maleate. Thallium-201 imaging during the pain reproducibility demonstrated malperfusion in the region supplied by the artery with documented spasm.
