A young patient with inferior ST elevation accompanying resiprocal ST depresion: A case report
Öz
In patients admitting to the emergency department with chest pain and ST-segment elevation, the first diagnosis to be considered is acute myocardial infarction. Urgent differential diagnosis and immediately referral to catheter laboratory to perform coronary angiography is life-saving. The electrocardiography is a vital tool in the differential diagnosis of chest pain. Although the electrocardiographic findings of acute myocardial infarction and acute myocarditis are generally different, rarely two diseases can mimic each other. We presented a 21-year-old male patient who had admitted our emergency with acute typical chest pain and ST-segment elevation in D2, D3, AVF leads accompanying with reciprocal ST depression in DI and AVL leads.
