Exercise-induced vasospastic angina with prominent ST elevation: a case report.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Exercise-induced vasospastic angina (VSA) is a relatively uncommon clinical scenario but may be fatal if not appropriately managed.

Case summary

A 56-year-old male patient presented to our hospital for chest oppression on exertion for a 2-week duration. The symptom arose while he was riding a bicycle in the morning but did not arise at rest or on exertion in the afternoon. He was an ex-smoker with a history of hypertension and a family history of sudden death. A resting electrocardiogram (ECG) was normal, and echocardiogram revealed no wall motion abnormalities. Coronary computed tomography angiography indicated a possible stenotic lesion in the circumflex branch. Thus, hospitalization was arranged, and transcatheter coronary angiography (CAG) was performed.
