Seizure-Associated ST Elevation Myocardial Infarction in Absence of Plaque Rupture

الملخص EN

Acute coronary syndrome (ACS) is a very common cause of morbidity and mortality in the U.S.

Here, we present a case of acute ST elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) in the setting of seizure activity.

In this rare case, we have data from optical coherence tomography (OCT) that showed no plaque disruption, showing the role of OCT in understanding the pathophysiology of STEMI and providing some ideas for the mechanism of this seizure-induced STEMI.
