Popis: Three cases of hypersensitivity to acetyl salicylic acid expressed by an angina pectoris syndrome—in two cases accompanied by urticaria—are reported. None of the characteristic signs of a myomalacia cordis were present. A study of one case showed definite allergic manifestations and definite electrocardiographic changes in the attack produced by the ingestion of acetyl salicylic acid. The electrocardiographic changes disappeared before the subsidence of the reaction. This syndrome in this individual was produced with every administration of acetyl salicylic acid and was, to some degree, controlled by the administration of adrenalin. There were evidences of preexisting cardiovascular disease in all three cases.
