Objective
To report a rare case of Acute Myocardial Infarction (AMI) along with Upper Gastrointestinal bleeding (UGIB).
Presentation and Intervention
A 58 year old male with history of black coloured stools was admitted in ER for chest pain and coffee ground emesis. ECG showed an acute inferior wall MI. After doing the necessary interventions, patient was inserted with a nasogastric tube and started on medications in the Emergency for UGIB followed by immediate endoscopy. Endoscopy confirmed presence of multiple superficial Ulcers in the stomach along with Esophagitis.
Conclusion
We support Esophagogastroduodenoscopy (EGD) prior to cardiac catheterisation in patients with AMI associated with overt Upper GI Bleed. This results in fewer complications as compared with direct catheterization
