We present a case in which vasodilator stress cardiovascular magnetic resonance provides unique insight into one such patient who suffered from recurrent episodes resembling ACS.<\/jats:p>\n               <\/jats:sec>\n               <jats:sec>\n                  <jats:title>Case summary<\/jats:title>\n                  <jats:p>A 58-year-old male with metastatic lung adenocarcinoma presented with refractory angina and dynamic inferior electrocardiogram changes. The patient was referred for adenosine stress cardiovascular magnetic resonance, revealing multiple territories of abnormal perfusion during rest with improvement during adenosine infusion. Subsequent computed tomography displayed tumour encasement of the right coronary artery. Taken together, vasodilator-responsive extrinsic compression of multiple epicardial coronary arteries was suspected. Outpatient oncology follow-up for chemoimmunotherapy initiation was arranged with the hope that reducing tumour burden might alleviate coronary compression. However, in the ensuing months, the patient\u2019s disease advanced beyond the point of which his symptoms could be controlled medically, and he was ultimately enrolled in hospice care.<\/jats:p>\n               <\/jats:sec>\n               <jats:sec>\n                  <jats:title>Discussion<\/jats:title>\n                  <jats:p>Encasement of coronary arteries can result in anginal symptoms if their position impairs coronary arterial flow. The presented case highlights the unique manner in which these lesions might behave on stress cardiac magnetic resonance imaging. Clinicians who encounter such unusual findings on vasodilator stress imaging should consider metastatic lesions to the cardiac structures on the differential diagnosis.<\/jats:p>\n               <\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1093\/ehjcr\/ytac124","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2022,3,18]],"date-time":"2022-03-18T13:35:14Z","timestamp":1647610514000},"source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":0,"title":["Case report: paradoxically reversible perfusion defects on vasodilator stress imaging in a case of metastatic coronary compression"],"prefix":"10.1093","volume":"6","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-1080-0661","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Sara G","family":"Kwiatkowski","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Virginia Commonwealth University Department of Internal Medicine, , Richmond, VA, USA"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Vikrant S","family":"Aulakh","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Virginia Commonwealth University Department of Internal Medicine, , Richmond, VA, USA"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Kunal","family":"Kapoor","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Virginia Commonwealth University Division of Cardiology, Pauley Heart Center, , Richmond, VA, USA"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Xin","family":"Wei","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Virginia Commonwealth University Division of Cardiology, Pauley Heart Center, , Richmond, VA, USA"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"John D","family":"Grizzard","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Virginia Commonwealth University Department of Radiology, , Richmond, VA, USA"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"W Gregory","family":"Hundley","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Virginia Commonwealth University Division of Cardiology, Pauley Heart Center, , Richmond, VA, USA"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Sarah W","family":"Gordon","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Virginia Commonwealth University Division of Hematology\/Oncology\/Palliative Care, Massey Cancer Center, , Richmond, VA, USA"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Cory R","family":"Trankle","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Virginia Commonwealth University Division of Cardiology, Pauley Heart Center, , Richmond, VA, USA"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"286","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2022,3,18]]},"reference":[{"key":"2024051617583102200_ytac124-B1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"764","DOI":"10.2214\/AJR.16.16148","article-title":"Metastasis to the heart: a radiologic approach to diagnosis with pathologic correlation","volume":"207","author":"Lichtenberger","year":"2016","journal-title":"Am J Roentgenol"},{"key":"2024051617583102200_ytac124-B2","first-page":"e499","article-title":"Concealed metastatic lung carcinoma presenting as acute coronary syndrome with progressive conduction abnormalities","volume":"125","author":"Marra","year":"2012","journal-title":"Circulation"},{"key":"2024051617583102200_ytac124-B3","article-title":"Persistent ST-segment elevation due to cardiac metastasis","volume":"2017","author":"Chen","year":"2017","journal-title":"BMJ Case Rep"},{"key":"2024051617583102200_ytac124-B4","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"695","DOI":"10.1001\/jamainternmed.2021.0101","article-title":"ST segment elevation in a patient with myocardial metastases what is up with that?","volume":"181","author":"Salik","year":"2021","journal-title":"JAMA Intern Med"},{"key":"2024051617583102200_ytac124-B5","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"1198","DOI":"10.1067\/S0894-7317(03)00642-4","article-title":"Lung neoplasm mimicking an acute lateral myocardial infarction","volume":"16","author":"Rodrigues","year":"2003","journal-title":"J Am Soc Echocardiogr"},{"key":"2024051617583102200_ytac124-B6","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"1569","DOI":"10.1378\/chest.06-1904","article-title":"Cardiac metastasis from lung adenocarcinoma causing atrioventricular block and left ventricular outflow tract obstruction","volume":"131","author":"Kasai","year":"2007","journal-title":"Chest"}],"container-title":["European Heart Journal -
