ABSTRACT
Coronary artery vasospasm is a rare condition that is caused by hyperactive arterial smooth muscle vasoconstriction leading to reversible coronary artery occlusion. Patients that suffer from coronary artery vasospasm have the potential to develop life-threatening conditions such as myocardial infarction and fatal arrhythmias. ST-elevations are a rare complication that can occur in people with coronary vasospasm, and to the best of our knowledge there are no documented cases of ST-elevation myocardial infarction occurring in patients undergoing regadenoson stress test. We present a unique case of a patient with known coronary artery disease and catheter-induced coronary artery vasospasm who developed ST-segment elevations and typical angina immediately following the administration of regadenoson during an elective myocardial stress test.
