Abstract/OtherAbstract:
|
Prinzmetal's angina is a distinct syndrome characterized by episodes of chest pain and transient ST-segment elevation caused by coronary vasospasm. This variant form of angina is sometimes associated with complete atrioventricular block and ventricular arrhythmias. We report here a case of variant angina with documented severe heart rhythm disturbances and syncope in a 66 year-old woman. Due to recurrent episodes of high-degree atrioventricular block, a DDD pacemaker was implanted. No further symptoms of angina or cardiac arrhythmias were detected on optimal therapy. |
