[Myocardial infarction in a young patient--with underlying vasculitis].
Myocardial infarction in a young patient is rare, and its diagnosis and treatment may be delayed. Vasculitis can cause inflammation in the coronary artery and cause a myocardial infarction even in a young person. We describe a sudden myocardial infarction caused by vasculitis in two young adults having chest pain symptoms.
