In fact, it is usual to find at least one thrombosis in a coronary artery when cases of classic angina are examined post mortem. This correlation has been very well established by the clinical-pathologic studies of Blumgart and his co-workers, using their improved technic of visualizing the coronary vessels.1, 2However, there is a group of conditions in which anginal pain occurs where other mechanisms are invoked that are regarded as explaining or producing angina. It is sometimes thought that these conditions...Bibliography1. BlumgartZollWessler HLPMS: Angina pectoris, a clinical pathologic study of 177 cases, Tr. A. Am. Physicians 63: 262-267, 1950.
