ABSTRACT
This is a case of the 44 year old male patient without history or risk factors for coronary disease, with blunt chest trauma in the anterior region after training of an Israeli martial art, right after he had typical retroesternal chest pain, he went to different doctors who prescribed different antiinflamatory drugs, because the persistence of the pain he decided to check with a third doctor who took an EKG and found an inferior epicardial lesion. Coronary angiography showed functional thrombotic occlusion of proximal segment of the right coronary. Successful primary angioplasty and stenting was done. The case shows that myocardial infarction after blunt chest trauma is challenging in terms of diagnosis and treatment.
