Abstract:
Coronary vasospasm is a rare complication after heart transplant. Due to denervation of the donor heart, patients are typically asymptomatic but may present with cardiac arrhythmias or cardiac arrest. We present a patient with a recent heart transplant who experienced chest pain and was found to have coronary vasospasm.
