Small-vessel vasospasm has been speculated upon as a possible cause of chest pain in patients with normal-appearing coronary angiograms. In this report, a patient who experienced typical chest pain during acetylcholine testing, which caused ST segment elevation without epicardial coronary spasm, is presented. This finding suggests that small-vessel vasospasm may be involved in the induction of myocardial ischemia in patients with normal epicardial coronary arteries.

D017202 Myocardial Ischemia A disorder of cardiac function caused by insufficient blood flow to the muscle tissue of the heart. The decreased blood flow may be due to narrowing of the coronary arteries (CORONARY ARTERY DISEASE), to obstruction by a thrombus (CORONARY THROMBOSIS), or less commonly, to diffuse narrowing of arterioles and other small vessels within the heart. Severe interruption of the blood supply to the myocardial tissue may result in necrosis of cardiac muscle (MYOCARDIAL INFARCTION).
