Patients presenting with acute coronary insufficiency or angina but normal coronary arteriograms demonstrated a good prognosis for symptom-free survival.
Case Report (n=415)
Patients presenting with angina or acute coronary insufficiency but normal coronary arteriograms generally have a good prognosis for symptom-free survival.
Angina with normal coronaries may follow a benign course; leaves open optimal evaluation and management strategies.
Two patients presenting with apparent symptomatic and electrocardiographic evidence of acute coronary insufficiency and found to have normal coronary arteriograms are documented. The patients remain symptom free at follow-up 9 and 14 months later although one requires 160 mg propranolol daily. The electrocardiographic, myocardial metabolic and haemodynamic data in 413 patients with angina and normal coronary arteriograms are reviewed and the suggested aetiologies documented. Follow-up of patients in these series indicates a good prognosis for symptom-free survival.

Lawson et al. (1976) conducted a case report in Acute coronary insufficiency with normal coronary arteriograms (n=415). Acute coronary insufficiency with normal coronary arteriograms was evaluated on Symptom-free survival. Patients presenting with acute coronary insufficiency or angina but normal coronary arteriograms demonstrated a good prognosis for symptom-free survival.
