AbstractAcute methanol poisoning may cause heart dysfunction accompanied by various electrocardiographic abnormalities. In such cases heart damage is usually secondary to metabolic acidosis and reversible. In this paper the case of fatal methanol poisoning complicated with acute coronary syndrome in a 52-year-old alcohol abuser is presented. The main cause of the myocardial ischaemia was the subtotal stenosis of the anterior interventricular branch of the left coronary artery, whereas metabolic disorders in the course of methanol poisoning probably intensified the ischaemia in the area supplied by that artery.
