 Abstract

- Anaphylaxis is a systemic allergic reaction which can bring fatal results. The common symptoms are erythema, angioedema, urticaria, hypertension and dyspnea. However, in very few cases, ST segment changes in the electrocardiogram can be seen. This is a case of a 51 year old female with normal heart function who showed reversible ST segment depression during anaphylaxis caused by a $H_2$-blocker agent. The cause of ST segment changes during anaphylaxis is thought to be the result of coronary vasospasm mediated by various factors.
