Subarachnoid haemorrhage mimicking a STEMI

Katharina Cima et al. Eur Heart J Acute Cardiovasc Care. 2017 Dec.

Abstract

A 50-year-old healthy woman presented with typical ECG findings of a ST elevation myocardial infarction, further to an abnormal anterior wall motion and elevated specific cardiac markers. A cerebral computed tomography scan revealed a subarachnoid and intraventricular haemorrhage due to a ruptured distal internal carotid aneurysm. The following report shows a rare case, in which subarachnoid haemorrhage mimics an acute ST elevation myocardial infarction.

Keywords: ST elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI); aneurysmal subarachnoid haemorrhage (SAH).
