Elderly patients with cardiac risk factors experiencing syncope and chest pain may have coronary vasospasm causing conduction deficits. This case highlights the link between coronary artery issues and heart rhythm problems.

Area of Science:

  • Cardiology
  • Electrophysiology

Background:

  • Syncope in elderly patients with carotid disease and cardiac risk factors presents diagnostic challenges.
  • Coronary artery disease and conduction abnormalities can coexist.

Observation:

  • A case study of an elderly woman with new-onset chest pain and syncope.
  • The patient had a history of carotid disease and multiple cardiac risk factors.

Findings:

  • Coronary vasospasm was identified as the cause of the syncopal episode.
  • Conduction deficits were observed in conjunction with coronary vasospasm.
  • A relationship between coronary artery anatomy and conduction abnormalities was discussed.

Implications:

  • This case underscores the importance of considering coronary vasospasm in elderly patients with syncope and chest pain.
