Abstract
A 53-year-old man presented for evaluation of nocturnal chest pain, co nsistent with angina pectoris. An exercise stress test reproduced his symptoms, however, exercise electrocardiograms were nondiagnostic. An exercise-thallium perfusion study confirmed vasospasm as the cause, Th is knowledge guided subsequent successful medical therapy.
