Abstract
SUMMARY 2010;78:445-448 Coronary artery spasm generally evolves with episodes of chest pain and ST elevation. However, there are cases of coronary artery spasm without chest pain with documented ventricular tachyarrhythmias. Its incidence is unknown and it should be included in the differential diagnosis of idiopathic ventricular tachycardia or fibrillation. The case of a patient with history of two syncopal episodes with no apparent structural heart disease is described in this work. Continuous ECG monitoring revealed episodes of ST elevation that led to polymorphic ventricular tachycardia. With the diagnosis of asymptomatic coronary artery spasm, a treatment with calcium channel blockers was begun and an automatic implantable cardioverter defibrillator was implanted.
