Popis: Myocardial infarction (MI) in the young (age < 45 years) is a significant problem; however, there is a scarcity of data on premature coronary heart disease and MI in the adolescent patients. MI in adolescents (age between 10–19 years) is extremely rare. We present a case of the 18-year-old boy with ST-segment elevated extensive anterior wall MI and found to have complete thrombotic occlusion of left anterior descending and left circumflex coronary artery.
