We present a case of a 44-year-old male with recurrent episodes of cardiac arrest in the course of Prinzmetal’s angina.
Episodes of variant angina can be life threatening due to episodes of advanced atrioventricular block, asystole, ventricular
tachycardia or ventricular fibrillation. It has been suggested to implantant an ICD in all patients with variant angina after cardiac
arrest. This patient received an ICD, however, he died suddenly 6 months later. The possible mechanism of cardiac arrest was
an electromechanical dissociation
