A 50-year-old male patient, without previous history, presented
with prolonged precordial pain following moderate exercise. He was
transferred to a local hospital, where acute coronary syndrome (ACS)
was diagnosed and was treated with conventional (aspirin,
β-blockers, nitrates, heparin) treatment. His recovery was
uncomplicated and he left the intensive care unit 48 hours later. He was
discharged from the hospital 7 days later and the following
treatment was prescribed: β-blocker, angiotensin converting enzyme
inhibitor, statin, and aspirin. The patient was a smoker (60 packs per
year), presented dyslipidemia and had no positive family history of
coronary artery disease. After his release from the hospital, he was
admitted to our hospital for cardiac catheterization without any
symptoms. He was hospitalized as planned, two weeks following the
ACS and underwent coronary angiography.
Coronary angiography showed normal left main coronary artery,
left anterior descending artery and left circumflex artery.
