Underestimation of possible coronary artery disease in young patients presenting with atypical symptoms like epigastric pain can lead to significant morbidity and mortality if STEMI is not diagnosed and treated timely.
The case report discusses a young male who presented on 14th June’2024, to the emergency department of Shifa International Hospital, Islamabad with epigastric pain. He was subsequently diagnosed as ST-elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) and moved to the catheterisation lab for urgent coronary angiography and coronary reperfusion.
