Young Patient Presenting with ST-elevation Myocardial Infarction (STEMI) Following Alcohol Mixed with Energy Drink (AMED)

In young myocardial infarction patients (<45), causes such as energy drinks, alcohol, cocaine, and anabolic steroids are added to the etiology, unlike in older myocardial infarction patients. Our case is a 19-year-old male who presented to the emergency department with ST-elevation MI after consuming alcohol mixed with an energy drink (AMED). Coronary angiography revealed a 99% thrombotic lesion in the distal Cx, which was thin in structure, in a patient whose coronary artery structure was not atherosclerotic. Due to the thinness of the vessel structure, medical treatment was initially planned for the patient.
