Acute myocardial infarction with normal coronary arteries.in vivodemonstration of coronary thrombosis during the acute episode

1. The turnover of plasma glucose and free fatty acids was measured in ten patients within 24 h of the onset of symptoms of acute myocardial infarction and in two with symptoms of acute myocardial ischaemia. The measurements were repeated in seven of the patients 12–40 weeks after the acute episode. 2. Both for the patients with acute myocardial infarction alone and for all the individuals studied the turnover of glucose increased with plasma glucose concentration but was not related to the turnover of free fatty acids or the plasma concentrations of free fatty acids, insulin or total catecholamines. There was no obvious difference in the nature of the glucose turnover—concentration relationship between the patients with acute myocardial infarction, with acute myocardial ischaemia and on re-examination. 3.

The article presents the case of the development of acute thrombosis of two coronary arteries in a 35-year-old patient without atherosclerotic lesion of the heart vessels according to optical coherence tomography. Acute myocardial infarction in a patient developed on the background of previous diffuse myocarditis, foci of which of different time were identified during magnetic resonance imaging. Smoking and chronic intoxication due to contact with paint and varnish materials and regular intake of alcohol were the only risk factors for myocarditis and coronary thrombosis that were able to be detected in this patient.
