Induced coronary spasm without electrocardiographic signs or symptoms of myocardial ischemia

Journal Article · · AJR, Am. J. Roentgenol.; (United States)
Angiographic studies have shown that coronary artery spasm can be induced with ergonovine maleate. Coronary artery spasm induced by ergonovine maleate in these studies was nearly always accompanied by chest pain and electrocardiographic changes of myocardial ischemia. This report demonstrates that coronary artery spasm induced by ergonovine maleate may be diagnosed by angiography in the absence of these signs or symptoms.
