Abstract
Acute Coronary Syndrome (ACS) has been observed in the older population (>40 years old), sedentary lifestyle and unhealthy behaviour. Recently, there is an increase of ACS reported in the younger population even without a sedentary lifestyle.We report a case of awell-trained 25-years old man thatcame with late presentation of ST elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) occurred 10 minutes after vigorous exercise. His traditional risk factor was a smoker.Electrocardiogram (ECG) showed a pathological Q wave in V1-V3 and T wave inversion in V1-V6 with elevated cardiac biomarker. Primary percutaneous coronary intervention (PPCI) was performed due to prolonged chest pain and it showed subtotal occlusion in mid left anterior descending artery (LAD) with high thrombus burden. One drug eluting stent (DES) was implanted at mid LAD and GPIIb/IIIa inhibitor and low molecule weight heparin was given with good clinical result.
