Fulltext PDF1.1. Background: Vasospastic angina can cause malign arrhythmias that despite full medical treatment, the sudden death is not guaranteed.
1.2. Case Presentation: We report a case of a 36-year-old woman with angina at rest followed by sudden cardiac death secondary to ventricular fibrillation. Our case experienced ventricular fibrillation, ventricular tachycardia, and atrioventricular block at different times. Coronary angiography showed spontaneous and simultaneous multivessel coronary artery spasm. Despite full medical treatment, repeat episode of chest pain was. Finally, the patient received an implantable cardioverter defibrillator to avoid the risk of sudden cardiac death.
1.3. Conclusions: Implantable cardioverter defibrillator should be considered for patients who remained symptomatic despite optimal medical therapy.
