    Area of Science:

    • Cardiology
    • Oncology
    • Pharmacology

    Background:

    • 5-Fluorouracil (5-FU) is a widely used chemotherapy agent.
    • Cardiac ischemia is a rare but serious adverse effect of 5-FU.
    • The underlying mechanisms of 5-FU-induced cardiac ischemia remain poorly understood.

    Observation:

    • This report details the second known case of 5-FU-induced cardiac ischemia.
    • Comprehensive catheterization data was obtained during the event.
    • The patient experienced acute myocardial infarction attributed to 5-FU administration.

    Findings:

    • Catheterization revealed coronary artery vasospasm as a likely contributor.
    • Analysis suggests potential direct toxic effects of 5-FU on coronary endothelium.
    • The findings expand the understanding of 5-FU's cardiovascular toxicity.

    Implications:

    • Highlights the importance of cardiac monitoring in patients receiving 5-FU.
    • Suggests potential therapeutic targets for managing 5-FU-induced cardiotoxicity.
    • Contributes to the literature on chemotherapy-related cardiac events and their management.
