The authors describe two cases of acute coronary syndrome by patients to the age of 40, of which anamnestical data and clinical manifestation were quite different. According to present recommendation of European Society of Cardiology neither one of them fulfilled standards for acute or created myocardial infarction. The discovery of ECG changes or echocardiographical findings lead to an introducing of coronarography examination that proved the important stenosis of coronary arteries and both cases were closed as a created (case 1) and acute (case 2) myocardial infarction.
