Abstract
A case of severe ECG abnormalities occurring during pre-eclampsia is presen ted. Although these electrocardiographic changes were indicative of severe alterations of coronary flow, neither structural nor functional abnormaliti es could be documented during subsequent diagnostic workup. The pathogeneti c pathways potentially involved in this case including coronary spasms are briefly discussed.
