It can have different etiologies such as thromboembolism caused by nephrotic syndrome (NS).We report the case of a 15 year old boy with NS, diagnosed at the age of 7 year, admitted for prolonged chest pain. The final diagnosis was ST-elevation myocardial infarction with thromboembolism in the left anterior descending artery due to hypercoagulability of NS.This association is very uncommon and the management of both conditions presents a challenge.
