Article Synopsis
- ANCA-associated vasculitis is linked to a significantly higher risk of cardiovascular issues, with rare but serious coronary artery involvement.
- A 68-year-old woman with p-ANCA vasculitis and severe kidney disease presented with chest pain and low blood pressure, showing signs of coronary vasospasm rather than blockage during testing.
- Treatment with medications such as amlodipine and corticosteroids successfully resolved her symptoms, highlighting the immune-mediated nature of the vascular inflammation.
Immunotherapy-mediated myocarditis and concurrent vasospastic angina in a patient with established ischaemic heart disease: a case report.

Background: Immunotherapy has become a pillar of modern oncological management but is associated with significant immunotherapy-related adverse events (IRAEs). While myocarditis is a prominent IRAE which clinicians are increasingly aware of, immunotherapy-related coronary vasospasm is far less appreciated and can be especially difficult to elucidate in pre-existing coronary artery disease. This case demonstrates the approach to diagnosis and management of multiple cardiovascular and non-cardiovascular IRAEs.

However, reports on VSA following the administration of corticosteroids are scarce. Herein, we present the rare case of a 49-year-old Japanese man who developed VSA while receiving corticosteroids for treatment of autoimmune hepatitis.
