Only 10% of patients with myocardial infarction (MI) have normal coronary arteriograms. It is well known that cocaine and amphetamines may induce myocardial infarction and stroke. A 24-year-old male was admitted after intake of a so-called amphetamine bomb. He had no chest pain. NSTEMI was confirmed by ECG and troponin-T outflow. The coronary arteriogram on day 6 was normal. It is suggested that all patients, even young persons, who are admitted for amphetamine intoxication should be evaluated for acute coronary syndrome, independent of chest pain status.
