ABSTRACT
Chest pain in the pediatric age group is a common presentation to the emergency department and rarely signifies underlying cardiopulmonary pathology. However, when chest pain occurs in association with symptoms such as dyspnea, diaphoresis, or syncope/near-syncope, a cardiac etiology must be urgently considered. We present the case of an otherwise healthy adolescent male patient with no discernible risk factors for coronary artery disease or other heart disease who experienced a myocardial infarction.
