title: Reversible myocardial stunning due to carbon monoxide exposure.
abstract: We report on a 37-year-old patient who suffered from myocardial stunning after exposure to carbon monoxide, despite having normal coronary arteries. As myocardial ischaemia may be asymptomatic in these patients, close monitoring with serial electrocardiography and of serum cardiac enzymes and troponins is recommended.
