Abstract
We describe the rare association of angina at effort and presyncope in a yo ung patient with an anomalous origin of left coronary artery and associated coronary spasm in the normal right coronary artery. The patient did well u nder calcium channel blocker therapy after seven years of follow-up, which is in contrast with the usual recommended management of these patients.
