PMCID: PMC287649  PMID: 15216119

Abstract

In an attempt to clarify some of the controversy regarding the concepts of myocardial ischemia, various cardiac pathologies are presented to demonstrate several of the unusual mechanisms involved in the causes of transient ischemic events of the myocardium. A review of the literature is presented, with a discussion of the current approach to managing these unusual clinical conditions.
