lipidaemic agents (usually a statin). If coronary arterial spasm seems a likely aetiological agent in such a patient, I also prescribe a vasodilator, i.e. a calcium channel blocker, an ACE inhibitor, or an angiotensin receptor blocker. These patients represent a very interesting subset of individuals with myocardial infarction. I am convinced that they will continue to be the subject of clinical investigation in the future in an effort to understand the pathophysiological process that results in their transient episode of coronary arterial obstruction.
