Abstract

A 21-year-old male college student with an 8-year history of insulin dependent iabetes mellitus presented with retro-sternal chest pain. 4 days previously, he had been tackled in a rugby game, and sought treatment for short-lived chest pain. An electrocardiogram (ECG) and echocardiogram done at another hospital showed transient ST-segment elevation and anterolateral hypokinesia. Cardiac catheterisation reportedly showed normal coronary arteries. A diagnosis of myocardial contusion was made and the patient was discharged after 3 days of observation.
