Acute Pancreatitis Masquerading as Inferior Wall Myocardial Infarction: A Review

Abstract: A rare presentation of acute pancreatitis is with electrocardiographic (ECG) changes that mimic myocardial ischemia. We present a report of a patient that presented with hemodynamic instability and new ECG changes of ST segment elevations in contiguous leads II, III, and aVF mimicking an inferior wall myocardial infarction. Emergent coronary angiography showed no significant coronary obstruction, but it was followed by a left-sided hemiplegia with radiographic evidence of diffuse embolic stroke. The patient wa… Show more

“…Acute pancreatitis can also be accompanied by many electrocardiographic changes, for instance arrhythmias, conduction disorders, and changes in the T wave as well as ST-segment elevation simulating myocardial infarction which is rare and occurs especially in the inferior leads [ 2 , 6 ].…”

“…Acute pancreatitis is an acute inflammatory process of the pancreas clinically characterized by epigastralgia, accompanied by elevated pancreatic enzymes [ 1 ]. Acute pancreatitis can have several complications including myocardial infarction with normal coronary arteries [ 2 ]. The association of acute pancreatitis with ST segment elevation has been reported in few observations and many pathophysiological mechanisms were incriminated such as coronary spasm and hydroelectrolytic disorders [ 3 ].…”

“…Деструктивные эффекты протеолитических ферментов на миокард подтверждаются также повышением концентрации аспартатаминотрансферазы в перфузате в ходе эксперимента на изолированном сердце [10]. Эти эффекты трипсина и других ферментов могут быть как непосредственным следствием протеолитической активности, так и опосредоваться активацией воспалительного ответа нейтрофилами [41][42][43]. Следствием их активации является высвобождение реактивных форм кислорода, в результате которого повышается проницаемость мембран митохондрий и снижается выработка аденозинтрифосфата [44].…”

“…Исходя из этого выдвинуто предположение, что воспаление, начавшееся в поджелудочной железе, может передаваться трансдиафрагмально на миокард, вызывая его повреждение. Эти данные подтверждаются преимущественной локализацией ишемических изменений в миокарде на электрокардиограмме при ОП на нижней стенке [41].…”
