Eur Heart J. 1994 May;15(5):715-7. doi: 10.1093/oxfordjournals.eurheartj.a060575.

Abstract

We report a case of acute myocardial infarction occurring in a patient with severe aortic stenosis and left ventricular hypertrophy. A coronary angiogram performed during the acute phase of evolving myocardial infarction excluded coronary obstruction as the cause of acute myocardial infarction in this patient.
