Abstract :
A 23-year-old male, a professional body builder, developed squeezing retrosternal chest pain following weight lifting. On examination, heart rate was 42 bpm and he had blood pressure of 70/50 mm Hg. An electrocardiogram was taken and showed inferior and right ventricular ST elevation myocardial infarction. Therefore, emergency coronary angiography was done and showed normal left coronaries. Right coronary artery angiogram revealed a dissection in the mid-part of the right coronary artery which was extended to the right ventricular branch.
