Prinzmetal's variant angina: clinical, angiographic and pathologic correlations in two typical cases.

ECG and cinecoronary angiography of two patients with Prinzmetal's variant angina are reported. A pathologic study was performed on both. In one case, a transient luminal obstruction of the left circumflex coronary artery became apparent during selective coronary arteriography. Histologic examination of the corresponding coronary segment revealed a severe concentric atherosclerotic process with a normal-sized muscular layer, so that the angiographic transient occlusion might be attributed to an arterial spasm. In the second case no angiographic narrowings were demonstrated by cinecoronary angiography. Nevertheless, histologic examination revealed significant obstructive atherosclerotic narrowing in some coronary segments. It is suggested that atherosclerotic disease may be present also in cases with variant angina who have apparently normal coronary angiograms.

Blood glucose and plasma insulin and glucagon response during intravenous glucose tolerance test in newborn infants affected by erythroblastosis foetalis.

Intravenous glucose injection (1 g/kg b.w.) was performed in eight newborn infants affected by erythroblastosis foetalis (IEF) and in seven controls during the first day of life in order to study insulin and glucagon response. The IEF infants were affected by mild or moderate hemolytic disease and their blood glucose values and plasma insulin concentrations before and throughout the test did not differ significantly from those of the controls. After the glucose injection the plasma glucagon concentrations showed great variations in both groups. The control infants did not show any significant changes; in the IEF infants, significant decreases were seen at 3 and 20 min of the test. These data seem to indicate that the alpha-cell sensitivity to glucose is greater in IEF than in normal infants and is not dependent on the development of the glucose-mediated insulin release mechanism.
