A case of post-traumatic coronary injury presenting with coronary occlusion and myocardial infarction is described. A 50-years-old man sustained a blunt chest trauma a three years ago. Myocardial infarction was not recognised, because chest pain was attributed to (and masked by) rib injury. Coronary angiography was indicated based on an incidental abnormal ECG finding during a preventive examination.

Keywords: blunt chest trauma, myocardial infarction.
