Coronary Vasospasm-Induced Ventricular Tachyarrhythmias

08/01/2008

In 1959, Prinzmetal et al. first described a syndrome of “variant” angina occurring at rest with ST-segment elevations, often associated with arrhythmias. He also noted that the syndrome often coexisted with typical angina and was associated...
