Abstract
We describe a 40-year-old South Asian female with relapsing polychondritis-associated myocardial infarction with non-obstructive coronary arteries during an acute flare for which she was successfully managed with guideline-directed medical therapy. The clinician should be cognizant of this rare association, especially in patients who present with acute coronary syndromes and chronic, pre-existing autoimmune syndromes.
