I have witnessed several friends die suddenly t

But I knew them to be under considerable strain as the result of professional and personal stressors, and I have always believed that their lack of insight, resilience, and emotional resourcefulness, al

Coronary spasm was positive in only 2 of the 7 patients who received provocation testsBiopsy specimens revealed focal myocyte injuryNormal coronary arterio
7、grams during ST elevation and the presence of pathologic myocardial lesions were not consistent with a concept of stunned myocardium. The presence of myocardial lesions suggested that focal and disseminated myocardial damage had occurred.Kawai, et al. Jpn Circ J 2000;64:237Autopsy Findings following
