Mixed connective tissue disease (MCTD) manifests as a number of cardiovascular diseases; however, myocardial infarction secondary to coronary artery disease has not been well documented. We present a case of a teenager with MCTD and known cardiac risk factors who developed an acute coronary syndrome.

Key Words: acute coronary syndrome • mixed connective tissue disease • myocardial infarction • vasculitis
