[Anaphylactic shock complicated by myocardial infarction: side effect of glaphenine?].
The authors report a case of anaphylactic shock complicated by coronary spasm and infarction attributed to glafenine medication in a 43-year-old male patient. The outcome was positive and coronary angiography showed healthy coronary vessels. The ergonovine maleate was negative. A review of the literature confirms the rarity of this complication of anaphylactic shock and study the ECG changes induced by this type of reaction and to analyze the mechanisms responsible for this coronary spasm in this situation. These consists basically of histamine release and prostaglandin-synthesis inhibition.
