Acute isolated right ventricular myocardial infarction masquerading as acute anterior myocardial infarction.
To cite: Sidhu MS, Aggarwal K, Fay WP. BMJ Case Rep Published online: [please include Day Month Year] doi:10.1136/bcr-2012008087 DESCRIPTION Right ventricular (RV) myocardial infarction (MI) often accompanies inferior left ventricular (LV) MI. However, isolated RV MI is very rare. A man (age range 30–40 years) presented with acute chest pain. ECG revealed ST segment elevation in leads V1–V4 (fi...
متن کاملMyocardial damage of the entire ventricular region in a patient with acute myocardial infarction
Technetium-99m-pyrophosphate (99mTc-PYP) has been used, in combination with thallium-201, to estimate the site and extent of myocardial infarcts. We report a case of acute myocardial infarction with severe coronary disease in which the distribution of 99mTc-PYP was extensive. A 78-year-old man presented with dyspnea, and a diagnosis of non-ST-segment elevation acute myocar...
متن کاملRapid Diagnosis of Acute Myocardial Infarction
To improve the specificity of biochemical markers of myocardial infarction (MI) a method to measure cardiac troponin-I (CTn-I) was developed. CTn-I is a protein unique to cardiac muscle and is released after MI. Consecutive 150 patients admitted to the coronary care unit was studied. Value of CTn-I was determined in all samples. CTn-I concentration in the MI patients group was increased com...
متن کاملAcute pulmonary embolism masquerading as acute myocardial infarction.
Pulmonary embolism can be extremely difficult to diagnose based on clinical presentation. Many studies have demonstrated certain electrocardiographic patterns commonly seen in pulmonary embolism, but few have described changes consistent with ST segment elevation myocardial infarction. In this report, we describe a patient who presented to the emergency department with electrocardiographic find...
متن کاملDeceived by acute pancreatitis masquerading as acute inferior myocardial infarction.
Dear Editor, A 48-year-old man presented to the emergency department with acute onset “crushing” chest pain of approximately 15 minutes duration, associated with diaphoresis and dyspnoea. His cardiovascular risk factors included diabetes mellitus and hypertension. He also underwent living-related renal transplantation in 1990 and 2003 (failure of the fi rst allograft) for end-stage renal failur...
