Abstract:
A 39 year old woman sustained life threatening arrhythmias associated with coronary artery spasm. On both occasions she was attending hospital outpatient clinics and was successfully resuscitated. Electrocardiography performed during further episodes of pain suggested that spasm could occur in either the right or left coronary artery.
