Acute pulmonary embolism (PE) is a frequent life-threatening condition in emergency departments. Careful diagnosis is important, and different diagnostic tests such as electrocardiogram (ECG), biochemical markers, echocardiogram, and computed tomography are required. Although ECG is a cheap and rapid diagnostic test for pulmonary embolism, it has some limitations in the differential diagnosis of acute coronary syndrome and acute PE. Herein, we report ECG results of a patient diagnosed with acute PE mimicking acute coronary syndrome.
急性肺栓塞(PE)是急诊科常见的危及生命的病症。仔细诊断很重要,需要进行不同的诊断测试,如心电图(ECG)、生化标志物、超声心动图和计算机断层扫描。虽然心电图是诊断肺栓塞的一种廉价且快速的诊断测试,但在急性冠状动脉综合征和急性肺栓塞的鉴别诊断中存在一些局限性。在此,我们报告一例被诊断为酷似急性冠状动脉综合征的急性肺栓塞患者的心电图结果。
