In 2016, the patient was admitted to our hospital with complaints of shortness of breath and had elevated troponins for which she had an angiogram that showed normal coronaries (Figure 1).
The electrocardiogram shows ST-segment elevation in lead aVL and V1 with reciprocal
ST-segment depressions in inferolateral leads.

ST-segment elevation in leads aVL and V1 with reciprocal ST depressions in the inferolateral leads (Figure 2). She was taken for an emergent coronary angiogram that revealed 100% thrombotic occlusion of left anterior descending and first diagonal (D1) arteries (Figure 3).
