چکیده

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 right coronary artery. We evaluated its possible pathophysiologic mechanisms and thoroughly discussed isolated right ventricular infarction and its electrocardiography findings. KEY WORDS Coronary angiography; Myocardial infarction; Total occlusions.

  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...

Proximal 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 Myocardial Infarction Caused by an Anomalous Right Coronary Artery Occlusion Presenting with Precordial ST Elevation

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...

Acute Myocardial Infarction by Right Coronary Artery Occlusion Presenting as Precordial ST Elevation on Electrocardiography

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.
