Abstract
We present three patients with variant angina pectoris and episodes of cardiac arrest. All of them had typical clinical symptoms, ST-segment changes in electrocardiogram, and coronary artery spasm confirmed by arteriography. They were treated with high doses of calcium antagonists and nitrates. An automatic cardioverter-defibrillator was implanted in the patient who developed ventricular fibrillation despite therapy with calcium antagonists. In another patient a DDD pacemaker was implanted because of high-degree atrioventricular block.Entities:
