In one of these patients, experimental reproduction of LVAB occurred in the catheterization laboratory during acetylcholine testing (as evidenced by echocardiographic monitoring), while in two other patients, the test provoked similar, extensive angiographic vasospasm and suggestive symptoms. In addition, the similarities and differences that exist between LVAB and Prinzmetal angina are discussed.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Conclusion:<\/jats:title><jats:p>To evaluate the pathogenesis of LVAB, it is proposed that acetylcholine testing be routinely performed under specific, prospective, investigational protocols at specialized centers. \u00a9 2008 Wiley\u2010Liss, Inc.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1002\/ccd.21338","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2008,2,21]],"date-time":"2008-02-21T07:18:59Z","timestamp":1203578339000},"page":"342-352","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":69,"title":["Transient left ventricular apical ballooning: A unifying pathophysiologic theory at the edge of Prinzmetal angina"],"prefix":"10.1002","volume":"71","author":[{"given":"Paolo","family":"Angelini","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"311","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2008,2,20]]},"reference":[{"key":"e_1_2_5_2_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1253\/jcj.64.156"},{"key":"e_1_2_5_3_2","first-page":"56","volume-title":"Clinical Aspects of Myocardial Injury: From Ischemia to Heart Failure","author":"Sato H","year":"1990"},{"key":"e_1_2_5_4_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/S0735-1097(02)02925-X"},{"key":"e_1_2_5_5_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.7326\/0003-4819-141-11-200412070-00010"},{"key":"e_1_2_5_6_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1161\/01.CIR.0000155234.69439.E4"},{"key":"e_1_2_5_7_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1136\/heart.89.9.1027"},{"key":"e_1_2_5_8_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1007\/BF02988242"},{"key":"e_1_2_5_9_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1067\/mhj.2002.120403"},{"key":"e_1_2_5_10_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/S0735-1097(01)01316-X"},{"key":"e_1_2_5_11_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/S1885-5857(06)60138-2"},{"key":"e_1_2_5_12_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1093\/cvr\/27.2.192"},{"key":"e_1_2_5_13_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1253\/circj.66.712"},{"key":"e_1_2_5_14_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1056\/NEJMoa043046"},{"key":"e_1_2_5_15_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/S0735-1097(02)02336-7"},{"key":"e_1_2_5_16_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1002\/clc.4960290104"},{"key":"e_1_2_5_17_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1161\/01.CIR.0000130642.79868.B2"},{"key":"e_1_2_5_18_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.ahj.2006.02.035"},{"key":"e_1_2_5_19_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.jacc.2004.06.032"},{"key":"e_1_2_5_20_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.amjcard.2006.07.080"},{"key":"e_1_2_5_21_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.ahj.2006.06.007"},{"key":"e_1_2_5_22_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1253\/circj.69.934"},{"key":"e_1_2_5_23_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1253\/jcj.65.349"},{"key":"e_1_2_5_24_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1056\/NEJM200505053521816"},{"key":"e_1_2_5_25_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.4065\/76.1.79"},{"key":"e_1_2_5_26_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/S0735-1097(03)00892-1"},{"key":"e_1_2_5_27_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/0735-1097(88)90450-0"},{"key":"e_1_2_5_28_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1097\/00019501-200206000-00005"},{"key":"e_1_2_5_29_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1161\/01.CIR.74.5.955"},{"key":"e_1_2_5_30_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1161\/01.CIR.65.7.1299"},{"key":"e_1_2_5_31_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/0735-1097(88)90449-4"},{"key":"e_1_2_5_32_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1054\/jelc.2002.36277"},{"key":"e_1_2_5_33_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1161\/01.CIR.69.1.8"},{"key":"e_1_2_5_34_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1378\/chest.107.5.1469"},{"key":"e_1_2_5_35_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1161\/01.CIR.66.6.1146"},{"key":"e_1_2_5_36_2","first-page":"17","volume-title":"Stunned Myocardium: Properties, Mechanisms, and clinical manifestations.
