Acute myocardial ischemia is a rare and possibly life-threatening manifestation of hyperthyroidism. We describe a 48-year-old woman with severe coronary vasospasm associated with hyperthyroidism. The patient presented with chest pain and increasing shortness of breath for several days. Acute non-ST elevation myocardial infarction was diagnosed. Coronary angiography revealed diffuse vasoconstric...

SEVERE or intractable chest pain, associated with sweating, vomiting, precipitate fall of arterial blood pressure, fever, and evidence of shock or collapse, clearly indicates a diagnosis of acute myocardial infaretion. In marked contrast is the entity of angina pectoris, with its paroxysms of chest pain after effort, typical radiation of pain into the arm, feeling of viselike constriction in th...

PURPOSE If a patient with aortic dissection (AoD) is inadvertently treated with thrombolytic agents, severe complications and poor outcomes are likely to ensue. We reported a case and postulated mandibular pain as warning sign for diagnosing AoD related stroke. CASE REPORT We report an 81-year-old woman presenting with left mandibular pain followed by left hemiplegia. Extracranial carotid dup...
