Two patients with angina pectoris and postmyocardial infarction angina due to coronary vasospasm at the site of myocardial bridge are described. Intracoronary injection of isosorbide dinitrate led to resolution of coronary vasospasm on acetylcholine provocation test, and vasospastic angina pectoris has been well controlled after treatment with calcium channel blockers.
