Abstract

Acute myocardial infarction should be diagnosed as early as possible for the appropriate management to salvage ischemic myocardium. Accurate diagnosis is typically based on the typical symptoms of angina. Headache is an unusual symptom in patients with acute myocardial infraction. We report a patient with ST-segment elevation acute myocardial infarction who presented to the emergency department complaining of severe occipital headache without chest discomfort.
