Gastric Dilatation Masquerading as Anterolateral ST-Elevation Myocardial Infarction
نویسندگان
چکیده
A variety of noncardiac conditions mimic the electrocardiographic changes ST-elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI). Therefore, a physician must maintain high index suspicion when evaluating ST-segment elevation (STE). We present case epigastric pain secondary to ileus and gastric dilatation masquerading as anterolateral STEMI on an electrocardiogram (ECG). The STE promptly resolved following laparotomy. To best our knowledge, this is first dilatation.

Small Bowel Obstruction Masquerading as Acute ST Elevation Myocardial Infarction
ST segment elevation on EKG remains among the most important presentations of acute myocardial infarction. Due to the urgency of intervention for this finding, other clinical scenarios causing ST elevations on EKG may sometimes go unaddressed and can lead to fatal complications. We present a case of an 86-year-old male presenting with small bowel obstruction leading to EKG findings of ST segmen...

متن کاملTombstoning ST-Elevation Myocardial Infarction
Tombstoning ST elevation myocardial infarction can be described as a STEMI characterized by tombstoning ST-segment elevation. This myocardial infarction is associated with extensive myocardial damage, reduced left ventricle function, serious hospital complications and poor prognosis. Tombstoning ECG pattern is a notion beyond morphological difference and is associated with more serious clinical...
