Article Synopsis
- Acute coronary syndrome (ACS) can occur without obstructive coronary artery disease in 1-14% of cases, with coronary artery spasm being a rare cause that requires specialized diagnosis and treatment.
- A 67-year-old patient experienced severe ACS with cardiogenic shock during hip surgery; despite initial resuscitation and use of ECMO, he was stabilized with nitrates and other therapies after identifying coronary vasospasm.
- This case underscores the need for awareness of non-obstructive causes of ACS, suggesting that vasodilators can be effective in treatment, and emphasizing the importance of ongoing preventive care to avoid future cardiac events.
