چکیده
We report a case of a 44-year-old male with variant angina who developed acute anterior myocardial infarction 2 weeks following demonstration of normal left coronary artery. This experience provides inferential evidence that myocardial ischemia resulting from coronary spasm may progress into myocardial infarction.

Normal Coronary Arteriogram*
Eighteen patients who survived an acute myocardial infarction were found to have a normal coronary arteriogram. Seven patients were younger than 35 years and six were female. The myocardial infarction was nontransmural in 1 1 cases. The mean follow-up was 21.6 months. Eleven patients developed residual chest pain at rest early after myocardial infarction. One, treated by beta-blockers, suffered...
متن کاملComparison of serum parathyroid hormone level between patients with acute myocardial infarction, unstable angina, and normal coronary function
Background: Nowadays, cardiovascular diseases (CVDs) are among the most common causes of mortalities worldwide. Parathyroid hormone (PTH) has an important role in the pathogenesis of CVDs. The aim of the current study was to compare serum PTH levels between patients with acute myocardial infarction (MI), unstable angina, and normal coronary function. Methods: This descriptive and analytic stud...
متن کاملThe syndrome of variant angina culminating in acute myocardial infarction.
Ten patients 28-54 years old with recurrent attacks of variant angina (chest pain associated with transient ST-segment elevation) culminating in acute myocardial infarction were studied. Systemic blood pressure and heart rate remained unchanged or decreased during chest pain. Diagnosis of myocardial infarction was made on the basis of pathognomonic enzyme changes and T-wave inversions persistin...
متن کاملAcute myocardial infarction with normal coronary arteries: a possible manifestation of the billowing mitral leaflet syndrome.
The findings in four young patients with the billowing mitral leaflet syndrome who presented with evidence of acute myocardial infarction are reported. Because technically adequate coronary arteriograms demonstrated patent vessels and the electrocardiograms initially showed pronounced elevation of the ST segments as occurs in Prinzmetal's angina, it is postulated that spasm of normal coronary a...
