Exercise-induced left bundle branch block accompanied by chest pain. Correlation with coronary artery disease.

A case of a 25-year-old woman with familiar hypercholesterolemia, who was admitted complaining for chest pain on exertion, is presented. She underwent a treadmill stress test and during the exercise left bundle branch block with concomitant chest pain in low heart rate (105/min) was demonstrated. After these findings TL-201 scintigraphy with dipyridamole infusion was performed: Chest pain and left bundle branch block appeared again during the test, and the stress TL-201 tomographic images showed reversible defect in the anterior wall. Finally, the young woman underwent coronary arteriography, which showed normal coronary vessels. The ergonovine test for coronary spasm was negative.
