When SVT is Not Benign: Troponin Elevation Revealing Coronary Vasospasm, A Case Report.

What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
Background: Troponin elevation is frequently observed in patients presenting with supraventricular tachycardia (SVT) and is commonly attributed to transient demand ischemia. However, its clinical significance remains uncertain, and alternative mechanisms such as coronary vasospasm may be underrecognized. Case Presentation: We report the case of a 77-year-old male presenting with a first episode of SVT, successfully terminated with adenosine. Adenosine successfully restored sinus rhythm with partial regression of the ischemic ST-segment changes. Initial high-sensitivity troponin was elevated but demonstrated a significant rise on the following day, accompanied by new T-wave inversions in the lateral leads. Given the dynamic electrocardiographic changes and biomarker progression, coronary angiography was performed, revealing coronary vasospasm of the left anterior descending artery without obstructive coronary disease. The spasm resolved with intracoronary nitroglycerin administration, suggesting the diagnosis of coronary vasospasm. Conclusion: Coronary vasospasm should be considered in patients with SVT and evolving troponin elevation, particularly when accompanied by dynamic electrocardiographic changes. Recognition of this mechanism is essential, as it has important diagnostic and therapeutic implications and requires a tailored management approach.
