In recent years, the incidence of metabolic disorders has increased significantly. A large number of studies have shown that the increased prevalence of psoriasis combined with metabolic syndrome increases the risk of MI, especially in younger patients with more severe disease.

The patient was diagnosed acute non-ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction, Killip grade I; High blood pressure, Psoriasis. Emergency coronary angiography shows 90% stenosis in the middle part of the right coronary artery. So, Stent implantation was performed in the right coronary artery. Conclusion: This case reports the treatment of a young patient with psoriasis complicated with acute myocardial infarction, aiming to improve the understanding of complications, control metabolic disorders, and reduce the incidence of cardiovascular diseases.
