ST-segment deviation in lead augmented vector right (aVR) is useful for evaluating patients with acute coronary syndrome (ACS). The ST-segment elevation in this aVR in the patient with clinically suspected acute coronary syndrome suggests a strong possibility of left main coronary artery (LMCA) obstruction due to fixed stenosis. In this article, we report the first case, to our knowledge, of ST-segment elevation in lead aVR due to diffuse LMCA spasm.
右上肢加压单极肢体导联(aVR)中的ST段偏移有助于评估急性冠状动脉综合征(ACS)患者。临床怀疑为急性冠状动脉综合征的患者,其aVR导联ST段抬高提示因固定性狭窄导致左主干冠状动脉(LMCA)阻塞的可能性很大。据我们所知,本文报告了首例因弥漫性LMCA痉挛导致aVR导联ST段抬高的病例。
