Objectives:
To report a case with dynamic ST segment elevation suggestive of anteroseptal acute myocardial infarction (AMI) that proved to be bilateral pulmonary thromboembolism (PTE).
Clinical Presentation And Intervention:
A 50-year-old woman with syncope was transferred to the emergency department. Findings from the admission electrocardiogram were suggestive of anteroseptal AMI; however, coronary angiography revealed that the patient had normal coronary arteries. On further evaluation, the patient was found to have massive bilateral PTE.
Conclusion:
This report emphasizes the role of evolving electrocardiographic changes in the diagnosis of PTE, particularly in patients with chest pain and ST segment elevation suggestive of acute coronary syndrome.
