I'm running around my room with both my arms up shouting "I was right! I was right!" or at least the Doc agrees with me with the info provided. :p

I've seen a few cases in which a young male was having a stemi with no risk factors what so ever. These were caused by coronary artery spasms.

Definitely. There are a number of causes of MI in those age groups. You get a 18 year old snorting half his dad's salary, I can see. And in the absence of thing like, having run a marathon or drug use...what is the likelihood. And on top of that what is the likelihood of it being essentially asymptomtic?

Haha, well done. See this is why I hate for EMTs or students to be too afraid of being yelled at by the paragods to have their say. More I say, MORE!
