Abstract: | Acute myocardial infarction in previously healthy children is rare in the absence of congenital anomalies. We describe two cases of acute anterior myocardial infarction in adolescent males with no congenital heart disease, without prior history of or risk factors for coronary heart disease, and with no history of drug abuse. These cases illustrate that myocardial infarction in the absence of systemic illness or coronary anomalies can occur in an adolescent population. |
