Summary

This case study reveals unusual electrocardiogram (ECG) patterns during exercise stress testing (EST) in a patient with coronary artery disease. These findings suggest a shared mechanism between severe exercise-induced ischemia and early myocardial infarction.

Area of Science:

  • Cardiology
  • Diagnostic Electrocardiography

Background:

  • Coronary artery disease (CAD) management often involves exercise stress testing (EST).
  • Electrocardiogram (ECG) changes during EST typically indicate myocardial ischemia.

Observation:

  • A patient with CAD presented with transient ST-segment depression, right bundle branch block (RBBB), left anterior hemiblock, ST-segment elevation, and prominent T-waves during EST.
  • The ST-segment elevation amplitude was influenced by the presence and resolution of RBBB.
  • Unusual T-wave morphology, typically seen in acute myocardial infarction, persisted late into the recovery phase.

Findings:

  • Cardiac enzymes were negative post-EST, ruling out acute myocardial infarction.
  • Coronary arteriography identified a stenotic left anterior descending artery.

  • The study documents a novel combination of ECG findings during EST in a patient with significant coronary artery disease.

    • Implications:

    • Severe myocardial ischemia during EST can manifest with a diverse range of ECG patterns, some previously unreported.
    • These ECG changes suggest a common pathophysiological pathway between exercise-induced ischemia and early myocardial infarction.
    • This case expands the understanding of ECG manifestations in severe, stress-induced cardiac ischemia.
