Zusammenfassung:A 72-year-old man with arteriosclerotic heart disease and chronic coronary insufficiency of many years' duration developed severe, recurrent anginal attacks. During an attack of chest pain, abnormal Q waves developed in Leads V 2 and V 3, but promptly disappeared with relief of the pain. The serial electrocardiographic changes and the clinical course were those of angina or coronary insufficiency, but myocardial infarction could not be ruled out. We believe that these Q waves were due to transitory ischemia of the myocardium.
