[Myocardial infarction "with angiographically normal coronary arteries (author's transl)].
Within a cohort of 121 patients with clinical picture and electrocardiographic pattern of myocardial infarction four cases (3%) had normal coronary arteried demonstrated by selective coronary angiography. Two patients revealed no risk factors, two patients were heavy cigarette smokers. Mean age of patients was 34 years. Exact analysis of clinical, hemodynamic and angiographis data confirmed assumption of regional myoaggressive myocarditis as the underlying disease in one patient and suggested regional myocarditis with high probability in another case. The two other patients however could not be classified as having coronary or primary myocardial disease. The investigation suggests that some cases with the clinical and electrocardiographic pattern of "myocardial infarction" with normal coronary arteries may be due to regional myoagressive myocarditis.
