- Abstract
Enhancing agents in echocardiography are used frequently to improve endocardial border visualization and assessment of structural heart disease. We present a unique case of anaphylactic shock with acute coronary syndrome following administration of sulfur hexafluoride echo enhancing agent. This case emphasizes the importance of recognizing anaphylaxis to enhancing agents, as well as recognizing the potential relationship between anaphylaxis and acute coronary syndrome with in‐stent thrombosis.
