Abstract
Electrocardiographic changes resulting from hypertrophic cardiomyopathy may mimic an acute coronary syndrome. We report a case of 57 years old man, with history of smoking, presented to the emergency department with chest pain and electrocardiographic findings of a ST elevation in the precordial leads from V1 to V4. He was treated as an acute ST-elevation myocardial infarction and transferred to our catheter lab. The coronary angiography did not reveal any coronary lesion. Transthoracic echocardiography, and cardiac magnetic resonance imaging were consistent with hypertrophic cardiomyopathy.
Keywords: Acute myocardial infarction, hypertrophic cardiomyopathy, ST segment elevation
