Pyridostigmine-induced coronary artery spasm in early-onset myasthenia gravis: a case presentation and review of the literature

Source : https://casereports.bmj.com/content/15/9/e249819

We present a case of pyridostigmine-induced coronary artery spasm in a woman with early-onset myasthenia gravis (MG) who suffered from acute chest discomfort a few days after pyridostigmine dose up-titration. Twelve-lead ECG demonstrated ST-segment elevation in inferior limb leads together with sinus arrest.
