TTS was first reported in 1990r and is characterized by clinical symptoms, ECG changes and regional wall motion abnormalities without changes in the coronary arteries. However, some reports admit the pos- sibility of coexistence of TTS and coronary artery disease. We present a patient who had not had any changes in coro- nary arteries until four years later when she had myocardial infarction associated with right coronary artery narrowing, despite the fact that the risk factors of coronary heart disease were closely monitored.展开更多
