Nonischemic ST segment elevation in hypertrophic cardiomyopathy due to chest wall deformity from kyphoscoliosis

A 57-year-old male was admitted with suspected acute coronary syndrome. He reported experiencing moderate chest pain when walking during the day prior to admission, but had very prominent ST segment elevations in the precordial electrocardiography (EKG) leads. A physical examination revealed remarkable severe kyphoscoliosis with chest deformity. The patient's cardiac troponin levels remained no...

An unusual ST-segment elevation: apical hypertrophic cardiomyopathy shows the ace up its sleeve.

Apical hypertrophic cardiomyopathy is part of the broad clinical and morphologic spectrum of hypertrophic cardiomyopathy. We report a patient with electrocardiographic abnormalities in whom acute coronary syndrome was excluded and apical hypertrophic cardiomyopathy was demonstrated by careful differential diagnosis.

Syncope in hypertrophic obstructive cardiomyopathy due to asystole.

Although faintness, syncope, and sudden death are common in hypertrophic obstructive cardiomyopathy, their cause has not been well documented. The occurrence of ventricular asystole causing syncope after exercise is described in one patient. The elucidation of the disturbance of rhythm may, therefore, be ofgreat importance, as sudden death may be avoided in these patients by the prophylactic us...
