title: [Hypertensive coronary angiopathy].
abstract: METHODS
  A 66-year old woman reported non-radiating anginal symptoms, at first only on physical stress and without dyspnea. A raised blood pressure of 180/95 mmHg was the only significant abnormality on admission.
  
  
  METHODS
  Coronary angiography merely showed slight plaque formation and marked twisting of the coronary arteries.
  
  
  METHODS
  The patient became symptoms-free on optimal antihypertensive medication.
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  This case demonstrates that a coronary microangiopathy may be associated with hypertensive heart disease, perhaps as a separate entity.
