Indu Poornima presents our latest case: After playing basketball (and 10 hours of intermittent chest pain), a 22-year-old white man arrives at the ER with acute non-ST-segment-elevation MI. Catheterization reveals a proximal left-anterior descending plaque rupture with thrombus. Read the case details then tell us: Why did this otherwise healthy young man develop plaque rupture and thrombosis? What would you recommend for a long-term management strategy?
