A Cardiac Pseudo-tumor Associated With Pseudo-infarction Electrocardiographic Pattern

Pseudo-myocardial infarction versus pseudo-pseudo-myocardial infarction.

Pseudo-Pseudo-Myocardial Infarction To the Editor: Hung and colleagues1 present a very important example of a pseudo-infarction pattern presumably related to pancreatitis, one of several clinical situations in which thrombolytic therapy is either not indicated or contraindicated. I am intrigued by the pattern of the bizarre T waves in the limb leads and wonder if part or all of this phenomenon ...

struma ovarii associated with pseudo-meigs’ syndrome: a rare presentation of an infrequent tumor

struma ovarii is an uncommon highly specialized ovarian teratoma that accounts for less than 5% of mature teratomas. it is composed predominantly of mature thyroid tissue. thyroid tissue is observed in 5%-15% of teratomas; however, to qualify as a struma ovarii tumor, the thyroid proportion must comprise more than 50% of the overall tissue. the combination of pseudo meigs'syndrome and elevation...

[Pseudo inferior myocardial infarction pattern caused by hyperkalemia].

Hyperkalemia produces various abnormalities in electrocardiogram (ECG): symmetric tall T waves, wide QRS, shortened QT interval, short amplitude of P wave and ST-segment elevation that can simulate a pattern of myocardial infarction. A 48-year-old man diagnosed of hepatitis C virus cirrhosis, portal hypertension and diabetes secondary to chronic pancreatitis, presented to the emergency roomwith...

Hyperkalemia masked by pseudo-stemi infarct pattern and cardiac arrest

BACKGROUND Hyperkalemia is a common electrolyte abnormality and has well-recognized early electrocardiographic manifestations including PR prolongation and symmetric T wave peaking. With severe increase in serum potassium, dysrhythmias and atrioventricular and bundle branch blocks can be seen on electrocardiogram. Although cardiac arrest is a worrisome consequence of untreated hyperkalemia, rar...
