Cardiac metastasis from epidermoid esophageal cancer mimicking anterior myocardial infarction.
Cardiac metastases are more common than primary tumors. Several types of malignant tumors have been reported to metastasize to the heart, mainly lung cancer, but in the setting of esophageal cancer, myocardial metastasis is comparatively rare. We report a case of a cardiac metastasis from esophageal squamous cell carcinoma detected 9 months after surgically curative esophagectomy, which present...
متن کاملHypertrophic Cardiomyopathy Mimicking Acute Anterior Myocardial Infarction Associated with Sudden Cardiac Death
Hypertrophic cardiomyopathy is the most common genetic disease of the heart. We report a rare case of hypertrophic obstructive cardiomyopathy mimicking an acute anterior myocardial infarction associated with sudden cardiac death. The patient presented with acute ST elevation myocardial infarction and significant elevation of cardiac enzymes. Cardiac catheterization showed some atherosclerotic c...
متن کاملLocalised pericardial effusion mimicking anterior myocardial infarction following coronary angiography
The diagnosis of pericarditis is important, especially in patients assumed to have acute coronary syndrome. Distinguishing these two conditions is vital but not always easy. Accurate diagnosis is essential to provide appropriate treatment as soon as possible and to avoid inappropriate invasive procedures. By highlighting this distinction, we report a case of pericarditis that occurred after per...
متن کاملIsolated right ventricular myocardial infarction from occlusion of a dominant right coronary artery mimicking anterior myocardial infarction.
A 63 year old man without a past history of cardiovascular disease arrived at the emergency department with severe precordial pain during the previous 21⁄2 hours. His blood pressure was 157/90 mmHg and heart rate 75 beats/minute. Electrocardiogram on admission showed ST-segment elevation in leads V1–V6 and left axis deviation of the QRS. The patient developed ventricular fibrillation at the tim...
متن کاملRight ventricular infarction mimicking extensive anterior infarction.
Two patients with inferior infarction complicated by right ventricular infarction are presented. Both manifested electrocardiographic changes involving the anterior chest leads with initial S-T segment elevation followed by loss of R waves and the development of QS complexes mimicking anterior infarction. Cardiac catheterization showed right coronary artery occlusion with normal left coronary s...
