Abstract :
Coronary artery spasm is usually defined as a focal constriction of a coronary artery segment, which is reversible, and causes
myocardial ischaemia by restricting coronary blood flow. A coronary spasm may rarely compromise all three epicardial arteries
simultaneously. We present a case of severe coronary spasm afflicting all coronary arteries accompanying an ST segment elevation
in leads D2-D3 and aVF.
