We diagnosed him as having microvascular spasm according to the results of coronary angiography with an acetylcholine provocation test with a high dose (150 μg) of acetylcholine administrate d at a time during 20 seconds.Electrocardiographic changes during the spasm provocation test resembled that during exercise tests performed upon admission and 9 years previously. He was treated with a calcium channel blocker and partial symptom relief was obtained.
