Physical examination, electrocardiogram, echocardiography, coronary angiogram, and cardiac MRI were normal. Symptoms were attributed to coronary spasm, and a calcium antagonist was started. Ten months later, when 36 weeks pregnant, her symptoms returned. One week later, the patient was readmitted to the hospital with signs of acute left ventricular (LV) failure, highly elevated troponins, and severe global LV dysfunction. Urgent section caesarean was performed due to maternal morbidity and foetal tachycardia. During section, flushes and marked variability in blood pressure were noted. Laboratory metanephrines testing was performed. LV function recovered within 3 days without any therapeutic intervention. However, chest pain reoccurred, now accompanied with headaches, malignant hypertension, and accelerated idiopathic ventricular rhythms. (Nor)metanephrines tests were positive. A solid lesion in the right adrenal on CT scan confirmed the diagnosis of pheochromocytoma. Fluid repletion and alpha-blocker therapy were started. Due to persistent symptoms, urgent laparoscopic adrenalectomy was performed. Hereafter, the patient remained without symptoms.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Discussion<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>A pheochromocytoma may present with recurrent angina and can result in a catecholamine-induced cardiomyopathy.
