Negative ergonovine test in post-partum MI with normal arteries; hypothesis-generating for non-spasm mechanisms and should not yet change practice.
Does provocative testing with ergonovine produce evidence of coronary artery spasm in a patient with post-partum myocardial infarction and normal coronary arteries?

Salem et al. (1984) studied this question.
