Abstract
A 59-year-old man was admitted for evaluation of mild exertional angin a in the morning, During graded treadmill exercise stress testing, the patient had reproducibly intermittent chest pains associated with ST- segment elevations in leads II, III and aV(F). A baseline coronary ang iogram showed a coronary narrowing of 90 % in the middle segment of th e right coronary artery. The coronary narrowing was immediately resolv ed by an intracoronary injection of nitroglycerin, This was a very rar e case of variant angina with intermittent ST-segment elevations and c hest pains which were reproducibly demonstrated during exercise and th e recovery phase of treadmill testing.
