In our emergency department (ED), we found one interesting case that had dramatic deterioration. The patient initially presented with a fever that deteriorated to sepsis, then a septic shock and chest discomfort and finally resulting in an intensive care unit (ICU) admission. He waited more than 6 hours in the waiting area, for a bed in an observation room. Phlebotomy and supportive treatment were provided in the waiting area but maybe it needed more rapid treatment to avoid the serious complications. The case rapidly deteriorated as type II myocardial infarction (MI). Al WAKRA TYPE II MI, is a case report for type II MI developed in ED as complication of prolonged waiting time in overcrowded ED, its simple fever case getting deterioration to sepsis then type II MI after prolonged waiting time in the waiting area of ED to get a bed in the observation room. We aim to report a case of type II MI in ED as rare case developed in overcrowded ED, to put highlight about overcrowded ED and how to manage it to avoid this complication again, also to be aware about pre sepsis presentation in ED with full consideration about sepsis complication and management. It could be considered as a case study for the Quality in overcrowded ED.
