Abstract
Silent myocardial ischemia is recognized as a common manifestation after percutaneous coronary interventions possibly due to induction of coronary artery spasm. A 54-year-old man was performed primary percutaneous transluminal coronary angioplasty with the diagnosis of acute myocardial infarction. His 18-hour control electrocardiogram showed big-notched inverted T waves in precordial, III, and aVF leads without any chest pain. These bizarre electrocardiographic findings were restored after a brief period indicating silent ischemia that is caused by coronary artery spasm.
