Abstract
Coronary artery spasm has been known to induce ischaemia and ventricular arrhythmias. We present a case of recurrent ventricular fibrillation caused by spasm-associated transmural myocardial ischaemia. During an intra-coronary acetylcholine provocation test, severe coronary spasm could be induced. The patient was treated with a hybrid approach of medication and an implantable defibrillator.Entities:
