Acute myocardial infarction has several typical manifestations that lead to further examinations necessary to confirm or exclude it. Even the lay population is educated about these manifestations. However, very often the manifestations of infarction are not typical. However, even patients without characteristic pain should not escape correct and early diagnosis. An infarction should therefore be considered even in the case of atypical pain, dyspnoea itself, nausea to vomiting, sweating attacks, palpitations, sudden general weakness to syncope, unclear anxiety, and restlessness, stroke or transient ischemic attack, sudden confusion to delirium, manifestations of peripheral arterial embolization, rarely also in diarrhea.

Keywords: acute myocardial infarction, less typical manifestations.
