On cardiac magnetic resonance imaging he was found to have a right ventricular infarct with secondary thrombus formation. Coronary angiography confirmed ostial occlusion of the right coronary artery. Conclusion This is an unusual case of premature myocardial infarction presenting primarily with secondary complications.
