- Abstract
- Variant angina is more common in Asian people, including Koreans. Variant angina has a broad spectrum of clinical manifestations,
from intermittent non-exertional pain to syncope and sudden cardiac death. Complete atrioventricular block is a major cause
of syncope in patients with variant angina. The complete atrioventricular block related to variant angina is usually transient and
easily terminated immediately after the restoration of coronary blood flow. We experienced a case of variant angina combined with
prolonged complete atrioventricular block. The complete atrioventricular block persisted after the restoration of coronary blood
flow, but normal sinus rhythm was restored spontaneously 5 days later. Here, we report this rare case. (Korean J Med 76:S76-S80,
