(Received for publication July 13, 1931)

The mechanism of the pain in angina pectoris has been the subjectof speculation and investigation since the original report of this clinicalcondition by Heberden (9). Among the many theories there are twowhich today receive most support: (1) Coronary origin-(a) myo-cardial ischemia due either to sclerosis of the coronary arteries andconsequent loss of elasticity or to coronary artery spasm; (b) distensionof the sclerosed coronary arteries with stimulation of the periarterialsympathetic nerve fibers; and (2) Aortic origin-due to distension of thediseased supra-sigmoid portion of the aorta with tension on the nerveendings in the adventitia (Wenckebach; Allbutt). Recent electro-cardiographic observations made during transient attacks of anginahave revealed inversion of the T wave or S-T segment of the curve,usually in leads I and II. There is immediate return of the curve tonormal after subsidence of the pain. These electrocardiographicstudies have been reported by several observers: Clerc (3), Arrilaga (1),Bousfield (2), Feil and Siegel (4), Levy (5), Parkinson and Bedford (6)and Wood and Wolferth (7). The clinical observations have beensubstantiated by the experimental work of Wood and Wolferth (7)who produced "temporary and rapidly reversible electrocardiographicchanges analogous to those seen in angina pectoris tracings." Thesechanges were: greater inversion of previously negative T waves insome experiments and the production of a high take-off in the S-Tcomplex in others. These investigators obtained abnormalities in theT wave more readily in abnormal hearts. Clamping of the circumflexand posterior descending coronary arteries caused greater changes thanobstruction of the ramus descendens or branches of the right coronaryartery.

study obtained similar curves from ligature of the ramus descendens ofthe left coronary artery. These changes were most pronounced afterfurther ischemia of the heart muscle was produced by obstruction ofthe inferior vena cava. These clinical and experimental data arestrong evidence that myocardial ischemia is responsible for the changesin the T wave and S-T segment of the curves. Likewise, they indicatethat the pain is probably due to or associated with myocardial ischemia.

In this report are given the electrocardiographic findings in elevenadditional cases with transient anginal attacks. Clinically, these casesmay be divided into four groups: (1) Patients with coronary sclerosisand who were not known to have had coronary artery thrombosis; (2)Patients who had in addition, an attack of coronary thrombosis previ-ously; (3) Patients whose angina was associated with aortic regurgita-tion; and (4) Patients who had angina and who subsequently developedcoronary artery occlusion.

The results of these observations during anginal attacks are sum-marized in Table I.

set and were not precipitated by exercise. The blood pressure was usually150/90 but during the attack rose to 170/100. The heart rate usually 80,rose to 120 and the cardiac mechanism remained normal. Physical examina-tion revealed a heart normal in size and heart sounds that were feeble.The first heart sound at the apex was especially faint and gallop rhythm waspresent much of the time. During the latter part of the patient's illnessthere were attacks of pulmonary edema and the terminal illness was dom-inated by congestive failure. Postmortem examination revealed advancedarteriosclerosis of both coronary arteries with almost complete obliterationof the lumen of the ramus descendens. There was advanced sclerosis of themuscle of the anterior and lateral part of the left ventricle. An electrocar-diogram taken on November 13, 1928 (Fig. 1, a) during an attack revealednormal mechanism, rate 136; the S-T segment in lead I rose after the com-pletion of R and T was elevated 2 mm. The S-T segment in lead II wassomewhat depressed and T was upright. Lead III shows depression of theS-T portion of the curve. An electrocardiogram taken after the attack sub-sided (Fig. 1, b) showed T 1 to be almost isoelectric; S-T 2 was slightlydepressed; T 2 and T 3 were both upright. The rate was 100.

ately eighteen years (180/110). An electrocardiogram (Fig. 2, a) taken onDecember 29, 1929 revealed inversion of T 1; depression of S-T 2 and T 2was upright; T 3 was upright. Immediately after this record was taken thepatient complained of severe pain (Fig. 2, b) which showed a greater depres-sion of S-T 2. There was less depression of the S-T segment in lead III.The patient inhaled amyl nitrite and was relieved of pain. Figure 2, c,shows a striking change: T 1 is more deeply depressed; S-T 2 is isoelectric;S-T 3 is slightly elevated and T 3 is larger.

An electrocardiogram taken during an attack(Fig. 7, a) shows slight inversion of the S-T segment in lead I and a deepdepression of this portion of the curve in leads II and III, the S-T portioncoming off below the iso-electric level. A record taken after the inhalationof amyl nitrite (with relief from symptoms) shows a deeper inversion of T 1but a less deep inversion of T 2 and 3. In addition the S-T portion of thecurve started at a higher level in lead II and near the iso-electric level inlead II I.

1. Labor pains. Electrocardiograms were taken during active laborin five patients. In each case tracings of the standard leads were re-corded during an interval when the uterus was relaxed. This -was re-

peated while the patients were having severe uterine contractions whichwere visible and palpable. Records were again taken after the uterinecontractions had subsided. In twxo cases records were obtained whichshowed some deviation from the normal which was present during bothactive contraction and during relaxation. In these t-wo cases recordsw%Nere obtained a fewvx days postpartum for comparison.

In none of the five cases was any inversion of the T wave or depres-sion of the S-T segment of the curve observed during uterine contrac-tion. In one case the T wave in lead III was depressed both duringuterine contraction and relaxation. A record taken six days post-partum showed less inversion of T 3.

2. Renal and biliary colic. One patient had severe biliary colic andwas found at operation to have pericholecystitis with numerous adhe-sions. Records taken during biliary colic showed no deviation fromthe record taken after relief from pain.

Two cases of renal colic were investigated. One who had severe

colic for several days had marked sinus arrhythmia which disappearedwith relief from pain. However, neither of these two cases presentedany alteration of the S-T segment or T wave during pain.

DISCUSSION

The changes in the T wave and S-T segment which occur frequently(in more than 50 per cent of cases) during attacks of angina pectorisare indicative of myocardial changes which are not related to exercise(Wolferth, personal observations) or to reflex effects from pain as such(labor pain, gallbladder and renal colic). In one patient, with a

gastric ulcer and paroxysmal epigastric pain, slight depression of theT wave occurred which varied in successive beats and was perhaps re-lated to changes in the axis of the heart. In eight cases electrocardio-graphic changes were associated with characteristic pain (due to effortor emotion) and subsided with rest and inhalation of amyl nitrite.Myocardial changes may then be said to be associated with transientanginal attacks and this may be due to spasm of the coronary arteriesor to transient variations in the coronary flow (reversal of coronaryflow). The inversion of T or the S-T segment in the electrocardio-gram during brief paroxysms of pain of angina pectoris gives additionalevidence of the nature of the anginal attack and may be helpfuldiagnostically.

CONCLUSIONS

Electrocardiographic observations are reported in eleven additionalcases made during transient attacks of angina pectoris. In eight ofthese patients, there was inversion of the T wave and (or) inversion ofthe S-T segment of the curve. In some instances a negative T becamemore deeply depressed. These changes disappeared after subsidenceof the pain. This evidence supports the conception that transientanginal attacks are due to myocardial ischemia, presumably due toalteration in coronary artery flow. Electrocardiograms taken duringother types of paroxysmal pain (labor pains, renal and gallstone colic)did not show any changes in the T wave or S-T portion of the curves.
