Nhồi máu cơ tim cấp ở trẻ vị thành niên: Báo cáo ca bệnh

Abstract

Acute myocardial infarction is a potentially life-threatening disease that is common in the elderly. Myocardial infarction in adolescents is extremely rare and few cases have been reported in literature. We present a 10-year-old male patient with a lot of chest pain attacks within 1 month. He suffered severe chest pains which last 30 minutes to 1 hour, radiating to the left arm, accompanied by sweating, pale skin. The child was diagnosed with ST-elevation myocardial infarction and the patient had a congenital left aortic valve hypoplasia with stenosis of the left valsalva sinus. The patient was operated to repair the aortic valve and widen the left valsalva sinus. One month later, the patient was re-examined and diagnosed without any residual damage. Myocardial infarction caused by congenital abnormality of the aortic valve and sinus valsalva in adolescents should be recognized as soon as possible and with prompttreatment will bring good result without sequelae.
