He had no previous cardiac history, but his cardiovascular risk profile included a familial predisposition, smoking and hypertension.
METHODS
Electrocardiogram, laboratory testing, chest radiography, echocardiography, coronary angiography, intravascular ultrasonography and endomyocardial biopsy.
METHODS
Acute myocardial infarction and parvovirus-B19-positive myocarditis.
