The authors describe a typical case of homocystinuria-inherited metabolic disorder manifesting itself in a 40-year-old patient suffering from typical Q-wave myocardial infarction when undergoing selective screening for homocystein on an ICU. After successful percutaneous transluminal coronary angioplasty (PTCA), enzymatic investigation of low cystathionine-beta-synthase activity in fibroblasts demonstrated conventional homocystinuria. Total cholesterol and other lipid parameters were within the normal range.
