title: Pain in the left ear as the presenting symptom of acute myocardial infarction in a renal transplant recipient.
abstract: Chest pain is the main presenting symptom in patients with acute myocardial infarction. However, many patients present with atypical symptoms, which may delay proper diagnosis and treatment. We present the first documented case of pain in the left ear as an atypical presentation of acute myocardial infarction 5 days after renal transplantation.
