Dilemma in predicting the infarct-related artery in acute inferior myocardial infarction: A case report and review of the literature
Cardiol J 2011;18(2):204-206.
Abstract
The electrocardiogram (ECG) has being used for decades as a reliable and inexpensive tool
to diagnose acute myocardial infarction (AMI). ECG diagnosis of an occluded coronary artery
is of the utmost importance. We present the case of a 46 year-old man admitted to our hospital
for inferior AMI. The ECG findings suggested right coronary artery occlusion. Coronary
angiography showed left circumflex artery occlusion. We also briefly review the literature.
