title: [Myocardial infarction complicating exercise test performed 72 hours after coronary angioplasty].
abstract: The authors report a case of myocardial infarction complicating an exercise stress test performed 48 hours after successful angioplasty of a stenosed left anterior descending artery in a patient with unstable angina. Three similar cases have been previously reported. The probable mechanisms of coronary obstruction in this context are rupture of an atheromatous plaque, thrombosis and coronary spasm.
