Abstract

The mechanism of coronary spasm is poorly understood. We report a case of coronary artery spasm in a cardiac transplant patient. Pharmacologic testing indicated denervation of the patient's heart. Therefore coronary artery spasm may occur despite cardiac denervation. This case demonstrates that intact autonomic nervous system and cardiac innervation are not essential for coronary artery spasm.

Key Words: Cardiac tranplantation • coronary artery spam
