Abstract
We describe a 34-year-old man who suffered an acute myocardial infarction after carbon monoxide domestic exposure. The coronary angiogram was normal. The necrosis is explained in part by a severe coronary spasm. The purpose of this work was to assess the pathophysiology and the treatment of this rare cause of myocardial infarction.
