Although there are reports of myocardial infarction (MI) in patients with sickle cell diseases, an antemortem diagnosis of acute MI in a patient with compound heterozygous hemoglobin SC disease has not been reported. Herein, we present a patient with hemoglobin SC who suffered an acute MI. ⋯ Interestingly, coronary angiography was completely normal in this patient. Potential mechanisms and management for acute MI in patients with sickle cell disease are discussed.
