Coronary sclerosis is present in most cases but not in all, and marked coronary sclerosis may be found in cases which have not shown the anginal syndrome. To account for the cases with little or no pathological findings the theory of coronary spasm has been advanced.1, 2, 3This is also a possible explanation of the angina of rest. The finding of changes in the R-T segment of electrocardiograms taken during spontaneous or induced attacks4, 5, 6has been considered confirmatory evidence of the occurrence of coronary...Bibliography1.
