Case report: isolated right coronary artery obstruction presenting as acute anterior myocardial infarction
Clin Radiol.
1991 Dec.
Abstract
A patient presented with chest pain and S-T segment elevation in the anterior chest leads diagnostic of acute anterior myocardial infarction (MI). The non-invasive imaging studies showed no evidence of left ventricular anterior MI but showed a right ventricular MI. Coronary angiography showed an isolated right coronary artery obstruction. Occasionally, the ECG in acute right ventricular myocardial infarction may resemble an anterior MI. The differentiation is important from a therapeutic viewpoint.
