Abstract
Introduction: Myocardial infarction (MI) is a common disease. Nowadays, progress in the rapid management of acute coronary syndrome (ACS) has resulted in saving time and reduction of MI complications.
Case representation: A 68-year-old male musician with a history of coronary artery disease (CAD), while playing fiddle, complained of severe compressive retrosternal chest pain. In the present study, we report a case of inferior ST-segment elevation MI with a post-angioplasty delusion of persecution.
Conclusion: Our case report has presented a distinctive occurrence of post-angioplasty psychosis following inferior ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction. The patient displayed symptoms consistent with brief psychosis, including persecutory delusions, jealousy delusions, and second-person auditory hallucinations.
