Sudden cardiac death one hour after a negative exercise test. Coronary angiographic follow-up.
A 58-year-old man developed ventricular fibrillation and a large anterior infarction one hour after a negative exercise test. Coronary angiography post-infarction suggested the presence of a "complicated" lesion, raising the possibility that the infarction resulted from sudden occlusion of a previously nonsignificant lesion.
