We present a clinical case of a 20-year-old woman with acute myocardial infarction with persistent ST-segment elevation (STEMI). The coronary angiography performed on the patient showed coronary vasospasm with no evidence of atherosclerotic plaque. The aim of this case report is to draw attention to the different types of myocardial infarction, other possible differential diagnoses (DD), and to the investigations necessary for determining a definitive diagnosis.
