Abstract :
We describe a case of a 41-year-old woman with chest pain for 1 hour who was admitted to our emergency room with acute myocardial infarction. Coronary angiography and spiral computer tomography showed myocardial bridging and an intracoronary thrombus in the mid-segment of the left anterior descending artery. She felt better after taking aspirin, diltiazem and a beta blocker and was discharged 15 days later.
