ST segment changes are well documented in literature during supraventricular tachycardias. We present a case of a 21-year-old male who presents with chest pain, shortness of breath, and dizziness with an ECG showing atrioventricular reentrant tachycardia and diffuse ST segment depressions. Patient spontaneously converted to sinus rhythm, but he was still complaining of crushing chest pain. ECG taken after conversion showed sinus rhythm at a rate of 65 and showed obvious persistence of ST depressions in majority of leads. Emergent left heart catheterization showed normal coronaries. Such ST depression is suggestive of global ischemia in small intracardiac vessels that cannot be evaluated by left heart catheterization.
文献中已有充分记载,室上性心动过速期间会出现ST段改变。我们报告一例21岁男性患者,其表现为胸痛、呼吸急促和头晕,心电图显示房室折返性心动过速及弥漫性ST段压低。患者自行转为窦性心律,但仍诉说有压榨性胸痛。转复后心电图显示窦性心律,心率65次/分,多数导联ST段压低明显持续存在。急诊左心导管检查显示冠状动脉正常。这种ST段压低提示心内小血管存在广泛性缺血,而左心导管检查无法评估。
