AB  - It is becoming increasingly common to offer primary percutaneous coronary 
      intervention as first line treatment for ST elevation myocardial infarction 
      (STEMI). In a subset of patients presenting with suspected STEMI, coronary 
      arteries appear normal at coronary angiography. In this article, the current 
      literature of this group of patients is reviewed. The incidence of 'normal' 
      angiography, the clinical and electrocardiographic features of this group of 
      patients and the alternative diagnoses for presentation are discussed. This 
      article reviews the factors leading to such presentation, the clinical 
      characteristics of such patients and the implications, clinical and economic.
