Vasospastic angina (VA), is characterized by symptoms of coronary angina caused by coronary vasospasm, usually in the absence of atherosclerotic changes. It typically presents with chest pain, which can be accompanied by transient electrocardiographic changes, if visualized during the attack. It can also rarely present with severe manifestations of acute myocardial angina, ventricular tachycardia (VT), ventricular fibrillation or cardiac arrest. We report the case of a 25-year-old male patient, with cannabis smoking habit, admitted for palpitations which had revealed a VT in the electrocardiogram (ECG), and for whom a coronary angiography was realised showing a coronary artery spasm (CAS) with no sign of atherosclerotic occlusion.
