AB  - Drug induced myocardial infarction is a known entity with different forms of 
      steroids linked to coronary artery disease (CAD) either through promoting its 
      traditional risk factors, inducing coronary spasm, or by other unidentified 
      mechanisms. Dexamethasone is known to promote an atherogenic and hypercoagulable 
      state. We report a case of a 75-year-old woman who had ST elevation myocardial 
      infarction (STEMI) associated with dexamethasone use just 4 days following an 
      angiogram showing minor luminal irregularities.
