title: Recurrent myocardial infarction in a young patient with normal coronary arteries.
abstract: A 33 year old patient with two acute myocardial ischaemic episodes (one, a probable inferior wall infarction and the second, a definitive Q wave anterior wall infarction) within a span of 6 months, with angiographically documented normal coronary arteries, is reported. Coronary artery spasm studies performed using ergonovine during the second coronary angiography, could not provoke spasm. The mechanism of recurrent infarction remains unclear.
