Unknown origin of acute myocardial infarction and lifesaving percutaneous coronary intervention in a 10-year-old girl

Abstract

Myocardial infarction is extremely rare in children. However, chest pain suspected to be cardiac in origin by the parents is a very common presenting symptom in pediatric emergency services. In this case, an electrocardiogram is very important in the differential diagnosis of cardiogenic complaints and should be carefully considered.
