Popis: Systemic inflammatory response syndrome (SIRS) complicated with ST-elevation myocardial infarction has rarely been reported, and the precise mechanisms of myocardial injury remain unclear. Here, we present a case involving a 45-year-old man who developed SIRS secondary to diabetesinduced infection, and who ultimately developed ST-elevation myocardial infarction with acute heart failure, fulminant diabetes, acute liver dysfunction, acute kidney dysfunction and rhabdomyolysis. The patient eventually recovered due to early detection, correct diagnosis and powerful treatment. Clinicians should be aware of this new type of myocardial infarction, which is induced by inflammatory injury, but is not due to a primary coronary event such as plaque erosion and/or rupture, fissuring or dissection.
