Abstrakt:	An 80-year-old man diagnosed with prostate cancer and under treatment with androgen deprivation therapy presented at the emergency room with chest pain, repolarization abnormalities and QT interval prolongation on electrocardiogram. An initial diagnosis of acute coronary syndrome was proposed, but biomarkers and coronary angiography were negative. Hydroelectrolyte balance and echocardiogram were also normal. Some weeks after drug withdrawal, repolarization changes reverted. A rare side effect of these drugs mimicking an acute coronary syndrome was the most probable diagnosis.
