Abstract
Coronary spasm is a risk factor for acute myocardial infarction and sudden cardiac death. This is a case of a young female patient with cardiopulmonary arrest induced by coronary spasm on arrival at our hospital. There has been no case that prolonged spontaneous attack was confirmed in multi-vessels. This case demonstrates that persistent coronary spasm is lethal and an important cause of cardiopulmonary arrest even in young people. It is extremely important to detect patients with coronary spasm before the ischemic events associated with cardiopulmonary arrest occur.
