Abstract
Coronary artery disease (CAD) is a common medical condition that is associated with significant morbidity and mortality, especially in individuals with multiple cardiovascular risk factors. This case report focuses on a 61-year-old man with established coronary artery disease, a history of Non-ST-elevation myocardial infarction (NSTEMI), and subsequent revascularization. The unique clinical course reveals a complex interplay between cardiovascular and ocular manifestations, revealing an unrecognized Behçet's disease.
Keywords: Coronary artery disease, behçet's disease, uveitis, coronary artery, myocardial infarction
