Abstract
People in developing countries suffer from coronary artery disease at a relatively younger age. Dyslipidemia is considered as established risk factor for cardiovascular diseases. Hypothyroidism constitutes a significant cause of secondary dyslipidemia. Secondary dyslipidemia causing acute myocardial infarction in a young adult is rare. We describe a case of acute myocardial infarction in a young male due to hypothyroidism.
