Acute chest pain and dyspnea often raise coronary disease suspicion. When echocardiography and cardiac computed tomography findings appear normal, alternative diagnoses should be explored. We present a case initially suggestive of myocarditis but later revealed as coronary dissection by cardiac magnetic resonance. This case emphasizes the role of advanced imaging in atypical cardiac presentations.
Keywords: acute coronary syndrome; cardiac magnetic resonance; computed tomography; dissection.
