Document Details : Title: Multivessel variant angina unresponsive to urapidil Author(s): VYDT, Tom , WILDIERS, Antoon , VRINTS, Christiaan J. Journal: Acta Cardiologica Volume: 59 Issue: 4 Date: August 2004 Pages: 439-443 DOI: 10.2143/AC.59.4.2005212 Abstract : We present a case of variant angina complicated by recurrent sudden cardiac death. During coronary angiography a diffuse 3-vessel vasoconstriction was observed progressing to a more severe vasoconstriction in the mid LAD. Intracoronary administration of urapidil did not reverse the vasoconstriction of the LAD; instead an occlusive vasospasm occurred accompanied by marked ischaemia. |
