Nasogastric tube induced myocardial injury--fact or coincidence?

Dear Editor, Nasogastric tube insertion is a procedure commonly done in the hospital for dysphagia, poor feeding or for resting the gut after abdominal surgery. Although there are reports of cardiovascular complications associated with endoscopy, a search through the English language literature did not reveal any reports of cardiovascular complications associated with nasogastric tube insertion. We report 2 cases of myocardial infarction after nasogastric tube insertion to highlight the possibility of myocardial injury associated with nasogastric tube insertion.
