We describe 3 young individuals with acute myocardial infarction that developed after extenous stress followed by the intake of cold fluids. The patients had retrosternal chest pain and EKG changes suggestive of posterior-inferior myocardial infarction. Coronartiography demonstrated 40% and 50% narrowing of the right coronary artery. The remaining case had normal coronary arteries.
