Extrinsic pulmonary artery compression mimicking acute pulmonary embolism

Right ventricular strain patterns on electrocardiogram such as right axis derivation and S1Q3T3 are well known for their diagnostic value in cases of acute pulmonary embolism. Nonetheless, these changes are not pathognomonic. We report a patient with electrocardiographic evidence of right ventricula...

description Right ventricular strain patterns on electrocardiogram such as right axis derivation and S1Q3T3 are well known for their diagnostic value in cases of acute pulmonary embolism. Nonetheless, these changes are not pathognomonic. We report a patient with electrocardiographic evidence of right ventricular strain secondary to an unusual etiology.
