Acute Myocardial Infarction Revealed in an Isolated Premature Ventricular Beat

Acute myocardial infarction revealed in an isolated premature ventricular beat.

T LIE electrocardiogram is the most consistently useful diagnostic tool in the identification of nvoeardial infarction. Over 9() per cent of instances of myvocardial infaretion p)ermit diagnosis by conventional electrocardiographic technics at sonIc time durino 'the clinical course. There remains, however, a sunall group of patientts in which eleetrocar(diogr'a)hic( chanioes ( iire riot suffici...

Acute myocardial infarction revealed by interpolated premature ventricular contractions.

Myocardial 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...

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...

Isolated Right Ventricular Myocardial Infarction: An Orphan in Acute Coronary Syndrome Imaging

Introduction: Isolated right ventricular myocardial infarction is an uncommon entity in the spectrum of acute coronary syndrome. It is often overlooked during the assessment of patients suspected to have acute coronary syndrome. Case Presentation: A 58 years old male presented with atypical chest discomfort. The initial ECGs were not supporting. The Echocardiogram revealed an isolated right ven...
