Introduction
Acute myocardial infarction (AMI) in young patients aged ≤ 35 years is an uncommon phenomenon and estimated to account for less than 2% of all AMI1. AMI in teenagers is even more rare2. The pathophysiology of AMI in this age group is varied but not usually due to atherosclerotic plaque rupture. Appropriate treatment has to be adapted from adult management protocols, as there are no controlled trials to guide early treatment of myocardial infarction in this age group. We report an interesting and rare case of AMI in a teenage girl where the etiology was most likely to be atherosclerosis.
