Hyperventilation and myocardial infarction

MK Chelmowski and MH Keelan Jr
Department of Medicine, Medical College of Wisconsin, Milwaukee.

We report a man who presented with hyperventilation and developed myocardial infarction. In the setting of hyperventilation, chest pain and ST segment elevation, coronary vasospasm must be considered.
