title: Acute myocardial infarction with normal coronary arteries in a patient with dermatomyositis. Case report.
abstract: The authors present a forty-year-old man, with a history of dermatomyositis for the past twelve years, managed intermittently with prednisone. During an exacerbation of his illness he developed an acute anterior wall myocardial infarction with normal coronary arteries. A literature review indicates this represents a rare association.
