Right ventricular infarction mimicking anterior infarction: a case report

M A Vives et al. J Electrocardiol. 1999 Oct.

Abstract

Right ventricular infarction usually occurs in association with inferior infarction, with no remarkable electrocardiographic signs in conventional leads. This report describes a patient with a previous inferior acute myocardial infarction who developed right ventricular infarction with significant anterior lead ST segment elevation (V1-V4) caused by the loss of two large right ventricular branches during a coronary angioplasty of the right coronary artery. The case is discussed and the literature is reviewed.
