Myocardial infarction immediately following cardiovascular stress testing.
A 45 year old man with recent onset of atypical chest pain, who sustained an acute myocardial infarction within 15 minutes after a negative treadmill exercise test, is described. The clinical course was complicated by persistence of chest pain despite afterload reduction and electrocardiographic evidence of inferoapical myocardial infarction. Coronary arteriography three and a half months later revealed minimal obstructive disease.
