title: [Electrocardiagraphic changes of Prinzmetal's angina type in the acute phase of myocardial infarct].
abstract: The authors have studied the frequency and severity of anginal attacks of the Prinzmetal type coming on during the acute phase of a myocardial infarction in 13 patients. They have occurred in 5.50% of cases (anginal attacks of all types occurring in 18.34% of cases). The severity of these attacks is shown by their clinical features: the multiplicity of the attacks, the high incidence of arrhythmias, the difficulties encountered with medical treatment. This also confirmed by the enzyme studies: when the curve of myocardial creatinine kinase release is drawn, there is seen to be an extension of the lesion in 2/3 cases, whereas the electrocardiograph does not show this up.
