Abstract
A 46-year-old man emergently presented after developing chest pain while running for a taxi. He reported no associated shortness of breath, palpitations, or dizziness. His vital signs were stable, and the results of respiratory and cardiovascular examination were normal. An electrocardiogram showed ST-segment elevation in leads V2 through V6 (Fig. 1). An urgent coronary angiogram revealed narrowing at the origin of the left main coronary artery (LMCA) that did not resolve after intracoronary nitroglycerin was administered (Fig. 2). However, there was no evident atherosclerotic disease.
