Refractory left main coronary vasospasm and electrical storm in a transgender woman: a case report
Our case highlights that severe coronary vasospasm can trigger electrical storm due to transmural ischaemia despite optimal medical therapy. Such cases may require mechanical circulatory support and coronary revascularization. Further studies are needed to assess the role that oestrogen therapy plays in transgender women experiencing coronary vasospasm.
