Abstract

Myocardial infarction is uncommon in persons with hyperthyroidism and also uncommon in the absence of demonstrable coronary artery disease. Cardiac catheterization and selective coronary angiography were performed in two men following apparent myocardial infarctions. Both patients were 33 years of age, thyrotoxic and angiographically free of coronary artery abnormalities.
