Abstract EN
ST elevations (STE) in the perioperative setting can result from a number of different etiologies, the most common and feared being acute coronary syndrome (ACS).
However, other causes should be considered, as treatment may differ depending on the diagnosis.
Here, we describe a case of STE and ventricular tachycardia in a patient at high risk for ACS.
The patient had a prior diagnosis of coronary vasospasm; however, given pre-existing risk factors, much consideration and deliberation occurred prior to electing conservative therapy.
This report provides an overview of perioperative vasospasm and other causes of STE, which anesthesiologists should be aware of.
