Acute myocardial infarction (MI) and stroke occurring simultaneously in one patient is a rare clinical event. These medical emergencies involve many diagnostic and treatment challenges due to different causes, treatment modalities, and shifting priorities. Presence and exacerbation of bronchiectasis has been considered as a risk factor for atherosclerotic cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases and can trigger a cardioembolic stroke. We describe a case of a 59-year-old male patient with bronchiectasis who was treated at our tertiary care center due to concurrent MI and stroke.
