ABSTRACT
A case of acute myocardial infarction in a 36 years old patient is presented. Maleness was male, as the only mayor coronary risk factor. He had myocardial infarction associated with ingestion of cold beverage after strenuous physical exercise. A coronariographic study was done postmyocardial infarction, which showed a mild obstruction of the LAD. The most likely cause of the coronary event in this case is coronary spasm and atherosclerosis. A review of the literature on this subject is made.
