Popis: In a patient with variant angina of the proximal left anterior descending coronary artery, myocardial ischemia changed the QRS-ST-T configurations without J-waves into those resembling “lambda” waves at maximal ST-segment elevation, and couplets or triplets of supraventricular extrasystole (SVE) changed the ischemia-induced “lambda” waves into QRS-ST-T configurations resembling a “tombstone” morphology or “monophasic QRS-ST complex.” At the resolution phase of coronary spasm, the QRS-ST-T configurations returned to those without J-waves and were changed by SVE into “lambda” waves. Interestingly, neither ischemia- nor SVE-induced “lambda” waves or SVE-induced “tombstone” morphology or “monophasic QRS-ST complex” were complicated by ventricular tachyarrhythmia.
