[Acute myocardial infarct and Friedreich's disease].
The association between Friedreich's ataxia and heart disease is well known. Microvascular disease and spasm of coronary arteries have been reported. We report now a patient with the association between this disease and acute myocardial infarction, which raises the hypothesis that it may be related with the already known cardiac abnormalities in this disease.
