Abstract:
Hyperthyroidism is associated with many heart diseases.Thyrotoxic state has a relationship with coronary spasm.We present a case of a non-menopausal woman with hyperthyroidism who complained of chest pain.The diagnosis of coronary spasm was confirmed by coronary angiography (CAG).She is treated well with anti-thyrotoxicosis and anti-anginal medication.We recommend not use CAG as the first diagnostic choice among the patients with medication-uncontrolled hyperthyroidism and chest pain.
