Normal Coronary Arteriogram

Eighteen patients who survived an acute myocardial infarction were found to have a normal coronary arteriogram. Seven patients were younger than 35 years and six were female. The myocardial infarction was nontransmural in 1 1 cases. The mean follow-up was 21.6 months. Eleven patients developed residual chest pain at rest early after myocardial infarction. One, treated by beta-blockers, suffered a recurrent myocardial infarction. Eight became asymptomatic, and two improved under antispastic therapy. Another patient developed a severe form of variant angina three m9nths after myocardial infarction; she died following plexectomy. Final-
