In 1992, Brugada syndrome (BrS) was described for the first time as a pattern of ST-segment elevation in right precordial electrocardiography (EKG) leads with high incidence unexplained cardiac arrest (UCA) and sudden death (SCD) patients structurally normal hearts [1]. It is associated an autosomal dominant genetic predisposition. Therefore, case diagnosed UCA or SCD, first-degree relatives ar...

Acute pulmonary embolism (PE) is potentially a life threatening emergency that needs prompt management to reduce preventable deaths. Symptoms like dyspnoea and chest discomfort often lack specificity and overlap with acute coronary syndrome (ACS). Importantly, electrocardiographic changes associated with PE are reported to be variable with some ECG patterns mimicking ACS, posing problems in the...

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...

A23-year-old man was admitted to the hospital with severe heart failure and cachexia. Ventricular arrhythmias and progressive heart failure (predominantly right heart) had been observed in the previous 3 years. Physical examination was unremarkable except for a widely split second heart sound, a systolic left precordial lift, third and fourth heart sounds, and signs of increased venous pressure...

BACKGROUND Electrocardiographic presentations of left ventricle aneurysms are diverse; however, a persistent ST segment elevation post myocardial infarction is most commonly reported. CASE REPORT The authors present a case of a 67-year-old man who presented to the emergency department after three days of chest pain and was found to have an acute myocardial infarction with an incidental finding ...
