چکیده
please cite this article as : taherpour z, seyedian m, alasti m. simultaneous right coronary artery spasm in a patient with anterior st-segment elevation myocardial infarction: a case report. novel biomed 2013;1:29-33. simultaneous occlusion of two vessels causing infarction at different territories is an uncommon finding. we report simultaneous right ventricular and anterior st-segment elevation myocardial infarction in a previously healthy young man. the angiographic results demonstrated the simultaneous occlusion of the right and left coronary arteries because of simultaneous occlusion of left anterior descending artery (lada) and spasm of right coronary artery (rca). in this patient, we found simultaneous st elevations in right and precordial leads so everyone should be careful about all leads of the surface electrocardiogram for decision making in the management of a patient.

Dobutamine stress echocardiography (DSE) has been widely used as a diagnostic and prognostic modality in the management of stress. DSE is associated with limited complications and adverse effects on the health of patients. In this case report, we described a 42-year-old female patient with dobutamine-induced coronary artery spasm with history of exertional dyspnea, which had deteriorated recent...
متن کاملGiant right coronary artery aneurysm presenting with non-ST elevation myocardial infarction and severe mitral regurgitation: a case report
INTRODUCTION Coronary artery aneurysms are seen in 1.5-5% of patients presenting for coronary angiography, but giant aneurysms, defined as being greater than 2 cm in diameter, are rare. Given the paucity of cases and limited experience in diagnosis and management of the disease, each case is a learning tool in itself. CASE PRESENTATION We report the rare case of a 78-year-old Caucasian man wh...

A 36-year-old man with classic angina pectoris had marked ST-segment elevation (STE) in the inferior leads on stress-testing in the absence of chest pain. There was no evidence of previous myocardial infarction (MI). Selective coronary arteriography delineated severe obstructions in the right coronary artery (RCA) with additional left circumflex coronary artery (LCx) obstruction. Left ventricul...
