Abstract
We report a case of severe retrosternal pain in 28-year-old patient with no cardiovascular diseases in history, developed after intravenous administration of 0.5 atropine sulfate 0.1 % solution for the purpose of premedication before the planned operation for endometrioid ovarian cysts and managed with nitrates spray. Taking into account the clinical picture, transient ischemic changes in the electrocardiogram and the association with the administration of atropine, it can be assumed that the patient had a spasm of the coronary arteries caused by the administration of atropine. There are only a very small number of descriptions of similar observations in the literature, which are also discussed in the article.
