Abstract

The cardiotoxicity of 5 fluoro-uracil is currently recognised. We report here a new case in which an effort test and a Methergin test were carried out in the hours following the episode and at a later date. With normal coronary arteriography the evidence is in favour of coronary artery spasm which is the usual mechanism for this type of toxicity.
