Abstract
We report a case of a spontaneous dissection of the right coronary artery during a dobutamine stress echocardiography (DSE) study in a middle-aged male. Our patient experienced a severe retrosternal pain of abrupt onset during the DSE study, whereas EKG was evident of significant ST segment elevation in II, III, avF, and V5-V6 leads, followed by an accelerated idioventricular rhythm. Immediate coronary angiogram revealed a minor dissection of the distal part of the right coronary artery.Entities:
