Gastric cancer–induced hypomagnesemia and hypokalemia linked to persistent coronary vasospasm and type 2 MI.
Case Report (n=1)
Severe electrolyte disturbances, such as hypomagnesemia and hypokalemia secondary to occult malignancy, should be considered as potential triggers for coronary vasospasm and type 2 myocardial infarction.
Electrolyte monitoring may merit consideration in gastric cancer with MI; single case leaves open vasospasm frequency and causality.

Ovcharova et al. (2026) conducted a case report in Type 2 Myocardial Infarction, Gastric Cancer, Electrolyte Disturbances (n=1). Electrolyte disturbances (hypokalemia and hypomagnesemia) secondary to gastric cancer was evaluated. Severe electrolyte disturbances (hypomagnesemia and hypokalemia) caused by gastric cancer likely triggered persistent coronary vasospasm, leading to a type 2 myocardial infarction.
