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 report a very rare case with ST-segment elevation from cancer invasion to the right ventricle and interventricular septum. A 45 year-old female with recurred breast cancer was pre-

Asymptomatic ST segment elevation in the recovery phase of the exercise stress test due to slow coronary flow

Exercise-induced ST segment elevation without Q wave formation is rarely observed. Frequent causes are significant coronary stenosis, myocardial bridge and coronary vasospasm. Both exercise-induced ST segment elevation due to slow coronary flow and ST segment elevation in the recovery phase of the exercise stress test are very rare. We present a 49-year-old man with asymptomatic inferolateral S...
