Intermittent delta waves mimics inferior myocardial infarction in young athlete
نویسنده
چکیده
WPW syndrome is recognized by the existence of delta waves and a short PR interval on the electrocardiogram. Delta waves may appear as a positive or negative deviation on ECG tracing corresponding to the localization of accessory pathway. Wolff-Parkinson-White (WPW) syndrome may exist in healthy athletes. Herewith the author describes a case report of a young athlete who showed an ECG-WPW pattern that mimics an inferior myocardial infarct. This article illustrates this ECG finding and provides helpful clues for arriving at the correct diagnosis.

The Effect of Eight Weeks of Intermittent Training with Quercetin Encapsulated Nanoparticles on JNK and ERK Apoptosis Regulators in the Rat Model of Myocardial Infarction
Introduction: Restoration of blood flow to the ischemic heart muscle causes infarction and myocyte death. Quercetin can be effective in treating heart disease due to its antioxidant effect, but its use is limited due to its low solubility in water. Quercetin restriction can be removed by embedding it in carrier nanoparticles. The present study was designed to determine the effect of quercetin e...

Abstract Background: Early diagnosis of right ventricle (RV) involvement in inferior myocardial infarction (Inf MI) is very critical. This study was performed to evaluate the clinical findings of Inf MI with or without RV infarction. Methods: From September 2010 to September 2012, 195 patients with definite diagnosis of Inf MI were evaluated in the Department of Cardiology, in Babol, north of...

A 31-year-old athlete was admitted to our hospital for previous inferior myocardial infarction (MI), diagnosed by transthoracic echocardiography, myocardial scintigraphy, and cardiac magnetic resonance, while coronary angiography revealed normal coronary arteries. Laboratory investigations excluded acquired or inherited thrombophilia, immunologic disorders, cardiotropic agents infection, and dr...

Technetium-99m-pyrophosphate (99mTc-PYP) has been used, in combination with thallium-201, to estimate the site and extent of myocardial infarcts. We report a case of acute myocardial infarction with severe coronary disease in which the distribution of 99mTc-PYP was extensive. A 78-year-old man presented with dyspnea, and a diagnosis of non-ST-segment elevation acute myocar...
