Myocardial Infarction in a Young Female with Palindromic Rheumatism : A Consequence of Negative Remodeling

الملخص EN

Palindromic rheumatism is a rare disease associated with systemic inflammation.

Negative or constrictive coronary artery remodeling is typically not seen until the 7th or 8th decade of life.

We report a case of a young female with palindromic rheumatism who suffered a non-ST segment elevation myocardial infarction secondary to a flow-limiting lesion that demonstrated negative remodeling by intravascular ultrasound (IVUS).
