Additionally, patient presented hyperthyroidism and totally decompensated diabetes mellitus. He required during the first 3 days intravenous infusion of inotropic agents. Cardiac enzymes levels were elevated. Akinesia in mid-inferior and mid-posterior regions in ECHO was observed. On the 10th day ST segment elevation in I, II, V3-V6 and ST depression in aVR was observed in ECG. After stabilisation patient underwent coronarography which showed normal coronary arteries.
