[Atypical attacks of stenocardia of effort occurring at rest].

Results of a clinico-instrumental examination and treatment of 320 patients with ischemic heart disease revealed that 147 of them showed both exertion stenocardia and angina pectoris attacks in seemingly physical rest that could be considered as spontaneous stenocardia. An analysis of the clinical picture of the disease in these patients allowed to distinguish five atypical variants of effort stenocardia that imitated stenocardia during rest: hemodynamic, stenocardia during arterial pressure elevation, cardiac arrhythmia, vasospastic and night effort stenocardia attacks. A differential approach to to complex treatment of patients with the above forms of effort stenocardia is necessary.
