Reports of patients undergoing long-term hemodialysis presenting with angina pectoris have usually shown severe coronary atherosclerosis. We studied a series of nine patients undergoing regular maintenance dialysis referred for incapacitating angina. Of them, four had strictly normal coronary angiograms. The patients with normal angiograms were all females who were significantly younger (p less than 0.05) and had more severe hypertension and higher left ventricular wall stress than patients showing coronary artery lesions. Anemia and increased myocardial oxygen consumption due to high blood pressure may explain the syndrome of angina pectoris in the presence of long-term dialysis in patients with normal coronary arteries. The prevalence of this association cannot be ascertained unless prospective studies are conducted. However, our data suggest that it might not be an uncommon finding.
