| Popis: | An acute inferior wall myocardial infarction apparently resulted from a severe spasm of the left circumflex artery during selective coronary arteriography in a 52 year old woman who had a normal coronary arteriogram on a subsequent examination. Some of the possible mechanisms of production of myocardial infarction without arteriographic obstruction are discussed, such as coronary embolism or recanalization of a thrombus. It is believed that myocardial infarction without evidence of obstructive coronary disease may be caused by coronary spasm. |
