Published in: European heart journal. Case reports (2023)
This is the first report of a simultaneous presentation of monozygotic twins with ST-elevation acute coronary syndrome.

Once CAD is diagnosed in one twin, aggressive risk factor modification and screening should be implemented in the other.
