Coronary artery vasospasm complicating acute myocarditis. A rare association.
A 17-year-old boy had a 2-day prodrome of fever and mild sore throat followed by 2 episodes of severe anginal chest discomfort and substantial transient ST-segment elevations in the anterior leads of the electrocardiogram. A subsequent evaluation showed the 2 episodes were most likely coronary vasospasm complicating acute viral myocarditis.
