title: Losartan-induced coronary artery spasm.
abstract: We report a case of coronary artery spasm documented with angiography in a patient with severe chest pain, electrocardiographic ST-segment elevations and highly elevated troponin I. Symptom onset was 15 min after the patient's first-ever intake of losartan. Although parts of the clinical presentation suggested allergy or anaphylaxis, laboratory testing did not support this.
