Coronary spasm: an unusual cause of ST elevation.
DESCRIPTION A 48-year-old woman was referred for investigation of chest pain. While having a treadmill exercise tolerance test she developed marked ST-segment elevation with chest pain during stage 1 of the Bruce protocol (figure 1), which resolved promptly at the end of the exercise (figure 2). The patient was transferred to the cardiac catheterisation laboratory for emergent coronary angiogra...
متن کاملUncommon cause of ST elevation.
A 73-year-old man presented with severe postprandial epigastric pain that did not radiate. He had 6 episodes of emesis followed by retching. The character of the pain was different from past anginal symptoms. At his local emergency department, a chest roentgenogram revealed air presumably within a large intrathoracic hiatal hernia (Figure 1). Computed tomography was notable for the stomach bein...
متن کاملA rare cause of ST segment elevation.
ST-segment elevation is usually resulted from total occlusion of the epicardial coronary arteries like acute myocardial infarction. 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 ...
متن کاملMyocardial bridge: an unusual cause of asymptomatic ST-elevation during treadmill stress test causing functional ischaemia.
Myocardial bridges are congenital structural abnormalities with debated clinical relevance; they may be traditionally asymptomatic or associated with various clinical manifestations, some of which may be potentially fatal. We report on a 60 years old man, who underwent a follow-up stress/rest myocardial perfusion scintigraphy developing asymptomatic exercise-induced ST-elevation and demonstrati...
متن کاملBroken heart during treadmill exercise testing: an unusual cause of ST-segment elevation.
Treadmill exercise testing is a commonly used diagnostic test for the assessment of chest discomfort and exercise-induced arrhythmias. The presence of ST-segment elevation during exercise is considered a marker of severe ischaemia, usually secondary to a critical lesion in a proximal coronary artery. We present a novel cause of ST-segment elevation during exercise testing: "broken heart syndrom...
