Atrial Repolarization Waves (Ta) Mimicking Inferior Wall ST Segment Elevation Myocardial Infarction in a Patient with Ectopic Atrial Rhythm
نویسنده
چکیده
We present a case of atrial repolarization waves from an ectopic atrial rhythm mimicking inferior ST segment elevation myocardial infarction in a 78-year-old male patient who presented with left sided chest wall and shoulder pain. His ischemic workup was negative, and the ST elevations completely resolved upon the resumption of sinus rhythm before discharge.

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...

There was no history of palpitations in the past. Twelve lead ECG (Figure 1A) showed regular narrow complex tachycardia at the rate of 208/min. No clear P waves were seen. There was ST segment elevation in inferior leads and ST...
متن کاملTwo Cases of Pseudo Inferior Myocardial Infarction.
We report two cases of pseudo inferior wall myocardial infarction where ST segment elevation in inferior leads was caused by hyperkalemia and atrial tachycardia respectively. Only one case of pseudo inferior Ml caused by hyperkalemia has been reported so far and atrial tachycardia as a cause has hitherto been unreported.

On admission the physical examination was normal with a blood pressure of 130/90 mmHg. The initial electrocardiogram (Figure 1A) showed sinus rhythm with convex-upwards ST segment elevation (transmural injury) decreasing from V1 to V3 and acute inferior myocardial infarction pattern with Q waves and ST segment elevation of transmural injury in leads III and aVF. The patient was medicated with a...
