| Popis: | Ergotamine is commonly used in the treatment of migraine headache. Since migraine may be associated with variant angina, some patients with migraine may develop coronary ischemia following therapy with ergotamine. We describe a young woman with migraine who had two myocardial infarctions following low dose sublingual ergotamine. We feel that the ergotamine was an important precipitating cause in both infarctions. |
