A case report of simultaneously acute myocardial infarction and pneumonitis associated with vaping electronic cigarette

Abstract

Electronic cigarettes (e-cigarettes) have recently been widely used as a method to conventional smoking cessation or as an alternative, especially among young population. The newly identified E-cigarette, or vaping, product use associated lung injury (EVALI) and the risk of myocardial infarction may lead to catastrophic consequences including death. Herein, we present the case of a ST-elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) accompanied by Pneumonitis in the setting of E-cigarette use in a 37-year-old male who presented with retrosternal chest pain at rest and shortness of breath that started 2 hours before admission.
