ABSTRACT
A family suffered carbon monoxide toxicity, with cerebral and / or cardiac complications, while sleeping in the cabin on a recreational boat. This article describes a couple exposed to a malfunctioning air-conditioning system on the boat, which subsequently developed the unique combination of cerebral symptoms and a non Q/non-ST elevation myocardial infarction, with enzyme elevations and electrocardiographic abnormalities. This interesting complication of a myocardial infarction secondary to carbon monoxide toxicity, associated with neurological manifestations, is reviewed.
