[Coronary insufficiency in pheochromocytoma].
The authors report the case of a 42 year old female with a phaeochromocytoma who, in the course of a hypertensive episode, had ECG changes typical of a myocardial infarction. These changes regressed within a few days. A normal coronary arteriogram confirmed the purely functional nature of this episode of acute myocardial ischaemia. In addition to the case report, the authors discuss the physio-pathological and electrocardiographic features of the coronary insufficiency of phaeochromocytoma, and also the problem of the rapide regression of the changes of infarction on the ECG.
