Abstract :
Protocols exist on how to manage STEMI patients, with well-established timelines. There are times when patients present with
chest pain, ST segment elevation, and biomarker elevation that are not due to coronary artery disease. These conditions usually
present with normal coronary angiography. We present a case that was clinically indistinguishable from STEMI and that was
diagnosed with focal myopericarditis on cardiac MRI.
