Abstract

Worldwide, myocardial infarction is a leading cause of mortality and disability. The phrase ``myocardial infarction'' refers to ischemia, which is the outcome of an imbalance in perfusion between supply and demand and results in the death of cardiac myocytes Myocardial ischemia is often diagnosed based on the patient's medical history and electrocardiogram (ECG) findings. Potential ischemic symptoms include a variety of chest, upper extremity, jaw, or epigastric pain or discomfort that typically lasts at least 20 minutes, is diffuse, not positional, not localized, not dependent on movement of the area, and may be accompanied by syncope, dyspnea, or nausea. These symptoms can occur at rest or after physical activity. These symptoms may be mistaken for other conditions since they are not specific to myocardial ischemia. Radiologists play a crucial role in this scenario since imaging is increasingly being used to identify and categorize these individuals. We report 4 cases of myocardial infarction presenting without chest pain and discovered incidentally during imaging tests.
