Abstract

We present the image of two twin brothers aged 53. Within 18 months they both underwent acute coronary syndrome treated with percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI). This story shows that both twins had similar comorbidities (hypercholesterolemia and hypothyroidism) as well as the course of the acute coronary syndrome. Although in both cases the coronary artery was totally occluded (in one case – fresh occlusion, in the other – CTO), no STEMI presentation was observed. Therefore, thorough investigation is warranted in twins after the acute coronary syndrome in of them, even in case of no evident ischemia symptoms.
