- Abstract
The article describes the case of a 42-year-old man with myocardial bridge presented to the emergency department with chest pain and diagnosed with acute coronary syndrome (ACS) induced by cannabis smoking and sildenafil citrate. It suggests that coronary spasm in association with decreased blood pressure due to sildenafil citrate and myocardial bridge was the case of the ACS in the absence of predisposing causes for thrombosis.
