Abstract
Disulfiram is a drug used since 1940 in the treatment of alcohol dependence. However, it is not a completely safe drug; there are in the literature some case reports of more severe reaction than the usual "acetaldehyde syndrome" secondary to ingestion of disulfiram and alcohol. We describe a case of a 45-year-old, chronic alcoholic man in treatment with disulfiram, who suffered an acute anterior myocardial infarction, successfully treated with thrombolysis. The possible factors precipitating acute myocardial infarction in this patient are discussed.
