Coronary artery disease is the leading cause of cardiovascular deaths worldwide. It is becoming a major concern in developing countries, partly due to the adoption of Western lifestyles. It affects young adults as well as older patients over 45 years of age. In this report, we present a case of cardiogenic shock related to myocardial infarction in a young adult. He completed cardiac rehabilitation after the surgery. The outcome was favourable at the six-month follow up.
