Incidental acute ST elevation due to cannabis-induced myocarditis after a mechanical fall.,

In our report, we discuss the likely diagnosis of acute rheumatic fever. Novel teaching points: The incidence of rheumatic fever in Canada is likely underestimated, and it is important to consider the diagnosis of acute rheumatic fever in individuals presenting with acute heart failure. More research is needed in Canada to further identify groups most at risk for developing this disease.
