Acute Myocardial Infarction by Right Coronary Artery Occlusion Presenting as Precordial ST Elevation on Electrocardiography
نویسندگان
چکیده
It is rare to observe ST-segment elevation in only the anterior leads and not the inferior leads during right coronary artery occlusion. We describe a case with acute myocardial infarction (MI) by right coronary artery occlusion who developed ST-segment elevation only in the precordial leads V1 to V3.

Background :In addition to diagnosing the acute myocardial infarction (MI), stratifying high-risk patients and proper treatment strategies are important issues in managing patients complaining of chest pain and suspecting MI. Many studies have been conducted to predict the occlusion site by interpreting the ST segment deviations in Electrocardiogram (ECG).Additional posterior and right precor...
متن کاملProximal complete occlusion of right coronary artery presenting with precordial ST-segment elevation
BACKGROUND It is well known that cardiologists empirically judge the culprit lesion of acute ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) according to the corresponding electrocardiographic leads. However, In addition to the obstruction of left anterior descending (LAD) coronary artery, rare cases with the occlusion of proximal right coronary artery (RCA) and/or isolated right ventricular...

Acute coronary syndrome with precordial ST segment elevation is usually related to left anterior descending artery occlusion, although isolated right ventricular infarction has been described as a cause of ST elevation in V1-V3 leads. We present a case of a patient with previous inferior wall infarction and new acute ST elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) due to proximal right coronary thro...

UNLABELLED For patients with ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction, primary percutaneous coronary intervention to the culprit lesion via electrocardiographic guidance is essential. We herein report the rare case of a 49-year-old man who presented with ST-segment elevation in the precordial leads, while coronary angiography results indicated total occlusion of the proximal non-dominant righ...

OBJECTIVE To describe patients with a distinct electrocardiogram (ECG) pattern without ST-segment elevation in the presence of an acute occlusion of the proximal left anterior descending (LAD) artery. DESIGN Single-centre observational study. PATIENTS Patients with acute anterior wall myocardial infarction who were referred for primary percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) between 1998 a...
