[Headache as a symptom of angina].
The authors report two cases where headaches was the only manifestation of severe myocardial ischemia. They had high degree coronaria sclerosis which was demonstrated by angiocardiography in one patient and at autopsy in the second patient. These findings suggest that in the mechanism of headache angina rather the pain perception than generalized vasospasm plays an important role.
