[Capecitabine and vasospastic angina: a clinical case].

The article presents a clinical case of a 78-year-old female patient with a clinical picture of vasospastic angina during the capecitabin treatment. The issues under discussion include difficulties of diagnosing vasospastic angina, a potential danger and incidence of coronary vasospastic reactions during chemotherapy with drugs of this group, and current approaches to prevention and correction of fluoropyrimidine cardiotoxicity. The presented clinical case confirms that vasospasm is a manifestation of capecitabin cardiotoxicity.
