Abstract

Severe cardiovascular events, such as coronary vasospasm or acute myocardial infarction can occur during anaphylactic reactions. Although rare, this cause of ischaemic heart disease is known. We present the case of a patient who suffered an angina episode after an anaphylactic reaction due tot administering metamizole, with no significant lesions observed in the coronary catheterisation.
