Popis: The occurrence of an acute myocardial infarction (MI) after chest trauma is a rare complication. We report a case of a 58-year-old man presenting with an acute anterolateral MI secondary to blunt chest trauma. Coronary angiography revealed a non significant lesion of a first diagonal branch without any atherosclerosis lesion on coronary artery. He was conservatively managed and resulted in a good prognosis. Based on this case, we discuss the path physiologic mechanism of MI following chest trauma.
