Abstract

The initial recognition of acute myocardial infarction at the time of the emergency department (ED) visit may be difficult in the absence of typical presentations such as chest pain, diaphoresis, and radiation tenderness. Headache angina, although reported in several instances in the past with variable patient outcomes, is still an uncommon phenomenon in patients with acute myocardial infarction. We report a patient with inferior myocardial infarction who presented to the ED with a complaint of severe headache and subsequent cardiogenic shock secondary to ventricular fibrillation.
