Gastric Dilatation Masquerading as Anterolateral ST-Elevation Myocardial Infarction

A variety of noncardiac conditions mimic the electrocardiographic changes of ST-elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI). Therefore, a physician must maintain a high index of suspicion when evaluating ST-segment elevation (STE). We present a case of epigastric pain secondary to ileus and gastric dila...

description A variety of noncardiac conditions mimic the electrocardiographic changes of ST-elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI). Therefore, a physician must maintain a high index of suspicion when evaluating ST-segment elevation (STE). We present a case of epigastric pain secondary to ileus and gastric dilatation masquerading as anterolateral STEMI on an electrocardiogram (ECG). The STE promptly resolved following laparotomy. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first case of anterolateral STE secondary to gastric dilatation.
