A rare cause of ST segment elevation.
ST-segment elevation is usually resulted from total occlusion of the epicardial coronary arteries like acute myocardial infarction. However, it is important to remember that acute myocardial infarction is not the only cause of ST-segment elevation. It can be seen in patients with acute pericarditis and myocarditis, Brugada syndrome, left bundle branch block and also in normal variants. Here we ...
متن کاملST-segment elevation of electrocardiogram in a patient with Shoshin beriberi.
We report a case of a 58-year-old man with Shoshin beriberi who demonstrated ST-segment elevation and myocardial damage without coronary artery stenosis. The patient subsequently recovered with thiamine treatment. We conclude that it is important to consider Shoshin beriberi as part of the differential diagnosis in patients with shock and ST-segment elevation.

متن کاملClinical implications of persistent ST segment depression after admission in patients with non-ST segment elevation acute coronary syndrome.
P atients with non-ST segment elevation acute coronary syndrome (NSTE-ACS) are heterogeneous with regard to both underlying disease and prognosis. ST segment depression on admission in NSTE-ACS is considered a powerful predictor of a poor outcome. To clarify the clinical significance of ST segment depression, we studied the relation between the change in ST segment depression after admission, t...
متن کاملTakotsubo Cardiomyopathy with a Tombstoning ST Segment Elevation: a Case Report
A 50-year-old female with a final diagnosis of Takotsubo cardiomyopathy (TCM) was reported. Episodes of seizures, which were companied with a transient tombstoning ST elevation, were recorded during treatment. This report on TCM with tombstoning ST elevation implies to clinicians that the ECG changes of TCM are of great variability.
