Slow coronary flow phenomenon(SCFP) is an angiographic observation characterized by delayed distal vessel opacifi-cation in the absence of significant epicardial coronary disease. Only limited studies have been focused on the etiologies,clinical manifestations and treatment of this unique angiographic phenomenon. In our case report,we described an 85-year-old man who came with significant ST segment elevation in leads V1-V4 and V3R-V5R without increase in myocardial enzyme. The patient also developed respiratory failure requiring intubation and mechanical ventilation. Coronary angiography revealed only mild atherosclerosis without spasm or thromboembolic occlusion. Slow flow was seen in all coronary arteries,especially in the left anterior descending and right coronary arteries. This case speculated that transmural myocardial ischemia with ST segment elevation might be resulted from slow coronary flow. Transmural myocardial ischemia can occur owing to abnormalities of the coronary microcirculation.
