A 39 year old woman sustained life threatening arrhythmias
associated with coronary artery spasm. On both occasions she was attending hospital outpatient clinics and was successfully
resuscitated. Electrocardiography performed during further episodes of
pain suggested that spasm could occur in either the right or left
coronary artery.
