Abstract
Spontaneous coronary artery spasm is an uncommon cause of angina pectoris and myocardial ischemia. Diagnosis usually depends on demonstration of coronary spasm following invasive provocative testing. We report a case of spontaneous coronary spasm leading to occlusion of the left anterior descending coronary artery and provide a brief overview of the literature.
