Acute ST elevation myocardial infarction in a young female patient without cardiovascular risk factors-Massive left main coronary artery thrombosis induced by oral contraceptive pills: a case report.

ABSTRACT:

Background

The association between oral contraceptive pills and cardiovascular events, including myocardial infarction, has been a subject of debate in the medical literature.
