Key result
Venlafaxine overdose was associated with the development of an acute non-ST-elevation myocardial infarction in a 51-year-old female with normal coronary arteries.
Case Report (n=1)
Venlafaxine overdose may induce acute myocardial infarction even in patients with normal coronary arteries.
Suggests venlafaxine overdose as possible NSTEMI trigger despite normal arteries; hypothesis-generating case that leaves open causality.
We describe the case of a 51-year-old female with no risk factors for coronary artery disease who had an episode of a non-ST-elevation myocardial infarction in association with an overdose of Venlafaxine. Cardiac catheterization revealed normal coronary arteries. Because no other obvious exacerbating factors for ischemia were observed, we assume that this drug may have contributed to the development of an acute ischemic event because of its pharmacologic properties.

Godkar et al. (2009) conducted a case report in Non-ST-elevation myocardial infarction (n=1). Venlafaxine overdose was evaluated on Non-ST-elevation myocardial infarction. Venlafaxine overdose was associated with the development of an acute non-ST-elevation myocardial infarction in a 51-year-old female with normal coronary arteries.
