Abstract
A 36-yr-old man suffered from transmural anterior myocardial infarction almost immediately after being hit by a football on the chest. There were neither external signs of injury to the chest wall, nor fractures of the thoracic cage. Coronary angiography 6 wk later revealed no demonstrable obstruction in any vessel; therefore, coronary artery injury with subsequent platelet aggregates or thrombosis followed by lysis and recanalization was suspected. Myocardial contusion or coronary spasm are alternative explanations.Entities:
