Although most of the patients presenting with ischemic heart disease have chest pains, there are other rare presenting symptoms like cardiac cephalgia. In this report, we present a case of acute coronary syndrome with an only presentation of exertional headache. It was postulated as acute presentation of coronary artery disease, due to previous history of similar presentation associated with some chest pains with previous left coronary artery stenting. We present an unusual case with cardiac cephalgia in a young patient under the age of 50 which was not reported at that age before. There are four suggested mechanisms for this cardiac presentation.
虽然大多数缺血性心脏病患者会出现胸痛,但也有其他罕见的症状,如心源性头痛。在本报告中,我们介绍了一例急性冠状动脉综合征,其唯一表现为劳力性头痛。由于既往有类似表现且伴有胸痛,曾行左冠状动脉支架置入术,故推测为冠状动脉疾病的急性表现。我们报告了一例50岁以下年轻患者的心源性头痛的罕见病例,此前该年龄段未见报道。关于这种心脏表现有四种推测机制。
