Highlights a rare case of acute myocardial infarction in a 16-year-old male with normal coronary arteries and no identifiable risk factors.
Acute myocardial infarction in the teenage years of life is a rare phenomenon. It is more rare in patients who have no risk factors or comorbid conditions and normal coronary arteries. Evaluation requires extensive investigation into the various risk factors that may be involved as well as the performance of invasive and noninvasive cardiovascular studies. A case of acute myocardial infarction in a teenage boy without familial, inherent, or extraneous risk factors is presented.
