Abstract
We describe a case of variant angina associated with acute myocardial ischemia in an adolescent presenting with severe chest pain and transient ST elevation. Subsequent cardiac catheterization revealed normal coronary anatomy, and the patient has been asymptomatic since discharge on calcium channel blockers. Variant angina is a rare cause of chest pain in adolescents.Keywords
