Abstract
ENGLISH ABSTRACT: An acute myocardial infarction in a young man when
there was no fixed atherosclerotic lesion in the
coronary arteries is reported. Soon after the myocardial infarction the patient was shown to have
thrombosis in the anterior descending branch of the
left coronary artery but this later disappeared. In
view of recurrent angina pectoris, provocation tests
were undertaken with ergometrine maleate, cold
pressor and hyperventilation. Both the drug and the
hyperventilation provoked coronary spasm accompanied
by angina pectoris but no EGG evidence of
ischaemia.
