Abstract:
A male aged 57 years with acute appendicitis was found to have ST elevations in the EGG (precordial V1-V3 leads) suggesting acute myocardial infarction. The ECG returned to normal postoperatively. The patient showed no signs of ischaemic heart disease and the exercise test and myocardial scintigraphy were found to be normal.
