Abstract
Right ventricular involvement in inferior myocardial infarction is a marker of poor prognosis. We present a case of a 62-year-old man with very recent onset of acute chest pain and cardiac shock with the triad of elevated jugular venous pressure, distension of the jugular veins on inspiration, and clear lung fields. In addition, the admission electrocardiogram showed a slurring J wave or lambda-like wave and conspicuous ST segment depression in several leads, predominantly in the lateral precordial (V4-V6), all clinical-electrocardiographic features of ominous prognosis.Entities:
