Acute myocardial infarction may occur in patients with angiographically normal coronary arteries. These patients are generally younger and frequently develop subendocardial infarction. Coronary spasm may be a significant factor in the pathogenesis of this type of infarction. The prognosis is considered to be good.

He was admitted to our hospital for further evaluation and treatment Cardiac catheterization, coronary arteriogram and left ventriculogram showed dyskinesia of inferior wall and normal coronary arteries.
