Abstract
The case of a patient in whom transient left axis deviation occurred d uring a treadmill exercise test is reported. Coronary angiography show ed a 90% obstruction of the proximal left anterior descending artery. After a successful coronary angioplasty and stent implantation, a cont rol exercise test was performed without a recurrence of angina or tran sient intraventricular conduction disturbance, reflecting the ischaemi c nature of this abnormality.
