“…Rhythm disturbances include supraventricular arrhythmias [3,6], ventricular arrhythmias [9] or varying degrees of conduction blocks [10], and sudden cardiac death is also described [5,11]. Right ventricular outflow tract obstruction [3,12,13], ventricular aneurysm [4,13], ventricular pseudoaneurysm [14], aortic insufficiency [15], coronary arteritis [10,13], or congestive heart failure [6,16,17] have also been described in literature. Recently, magnetic resonance imaging has also been used in the diagnosis of myocardial TB [18].…”

“…In addition, Bakalli et al (41) showed a rare case of AMI in a 30-year-old female patient with PTB. Kinare et al (42) reported a severe case of a 19-year-old male who died due to a large ventricular aneurysm obtained from myocardial infarction caused by tuberculous coronaritis of the LAD branch. Rodríguez et al (43) also presented the case of an apparently healthy 21 year-old male who suffered sudden death related to tuberculous coronary arteritis.…”

Acute myocardial infarction, hyperhomocysteinemia and pulmonary tuberculosis (PTB) are rare in individuals under the age of 30 years. We herein report the case of a 27-year-old man who presented with intermittent chest pain, elevated homosysteine level, and PTB. The patient was treated successfully with a combination of medications and percutaneous coronary intervention. This uncommon case highlights that homocysteine, folate and B vitamins levels should be regularly evaluated, and that chest X-rays or thoracic computed tomography should be ordered routinely to exclude PTB in patients under the age of 30 years who present acute myocardial infarction and lack the traditional risk factors.

“…As for the relationship between coronary artery disease and tuberculosis, there have been several studies in the 50s until 70s, mainly coming from Russia and India that reported such a relation [ 1 , 8 - 10 ]. Lately there are very few data in this direction.…”

“…Tuberculous angitis of small vessels is often associated with tuberculous inflammation and it may reach the blood vessel from inside or outside. Tuberculous arteritis of coronary arteries is a rare phenomenon [ 1 ]. However, Mycobacterium tuberculosis may be one of the several infectious agents that plays a role in the inflammatory mechanism of the atherosclerotic process [ 2 ].…”
