Abstract

Three cases are presented where acute myocardial infarction occurred in young individuals after an episode of heavy alcohol intake. Subsequent coronary arteriograms demonstrated normal coronary arteries. Several mechanisms by which acute ethanol intoxication might precipitate myocardial infarction are discussed. To our knowledge, no similar cases have been reported.
