A new ECG marker of anterior acute myocardial infarction

Abstract: ST-segment elevation is the hallmark of acute transmural myocardial ischemia caused by acute occlusion of a coronary artery. ST-segment elevation is the major criterion for the patients with chest pain to immediate reperfusion therapy. Despite its clinical importance, the mechanism of ST-elevation remains unclear. Two patients are reported with proximal left anterior descending coronary occlusion but without ST-segment elevation. The distinct ECG patterns were tall, with symmetrical T-waves and upsloping and d… Show more

“…This is especially evident from review of older case reports. Although not included in our cases series, we found numerous reports of myocardial infarctions in mostly female patients with normal coronary arteries following use of albuterol [98], salbutamol [99,100], ephedrine [101], pseudoephedrine [102], tricyclic antidepressants [103][104][105][106][107], and the weight loss agent sibutramine [108], a combined norepinephrine and serotonin reuptake inhibitor. We believe that many, if not most of these cases were unrecognized variants of PITS.…”
