This case report highlights the atypical presentation of coronary artery vasospasm in a 59-year-old patient presenting with syncope due to ventricular arrhythmia. Despite initially elevated troponin levels and non-significant lesions observed during left heart catheterization, the patient experienced recurrent chest pain and dizziness, prompting further evaluation. Ultimately, coronary vasospasm was identified as the likely differential diagnosis, supported by various diagnostic modalities including electrocardiogram, Zio patch monitoring, transthoracic echocardiogram, cardiac MRI, and CT angiography. Management involved the initiation of calcium channel blocker therapy, leading to a non-eventful follow-up in the cardiology clinic.
