title: Prinzmetal angina in the differential diagnosis of syncope.
abstract: Prinzmetal (variant) angina may be associated with cardiac arrhythmias that can deteriorate to fatal ventricular arrhythmias. We present 2 patients with syncope where vasospastic angina and severe ventricular arrhythmias were found to be responsible for the syncopal episodes.
