Unexpected Lethal Complication of Ventricular Fibrillation in Symptom Free Variant Angina Pectoris

Unexpected Lethal Complication of Ventricular Fibrillation in Symptom Free Variant Angina Pectoris

We report an unexpected sudden cardiac death due to variant angina complicated by ventricular fibrillation occurring during routine ambulatory electrocardiographic monitoring. The patient had one previous episode of ventricular fibrillation before the lethal event. He had no significant coronary art...
