We present a case of a 52-year-old male with no known past medical history who presented to an outside hospital with acute chest pain. Initial workup revealed anteroseptal ST-elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) for which the patient was transferred to our facility for emergent percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI). However, the patient's hospital course revealed numerous confounding pathologies that can also present as STEMI, including transthoracic echocardiogram (TTE) abnormalities consistent with takotsubo cardiomyopathy (TCM) as well as myocardial bridging presenting as post-PCI STEMI in the setting of nitroglycerin use. The purpose of this case report is to discuss non-acute coronary syndrome causes of STEMI, specifically TCM and myocardial bridging, in a patient who presented with acute onset chest pain and ECG changes.
我们报告一例52岁男性病例,该患者既往无已知病史,因急性胸痛就诊于外院。初步检查显示前间隔ST段抬高型心肌梗死(STEMI),患者因此被转至我院进行紧急经皮冠状动脉介入治疗(PCI)。然而,患者的住院过程显示出许多也可表现为STEMI的混杂病理情况,包括经胸超声心动图(TTE)异常符合应激性心肌病(TCM),以及在使用硝酸甘油的情况下表现为PCI术后STEMI的心肌桥。本病例报告的目的是讨论在一名出现急性胸痛和心电图改变的患者中,STEMI的非急性冠状动脉综合征病因,特别是TCM和心肌桥。
