A Rare Case of Pulmonary Emboli Presenting With ST Elevation on ECG.

Zaid Gheith1, Bilal Alqam2, Rajani Jagana3.   

Abstract

Pulmonary embolism is a common medical emergency and often life threatening but can be misdiagnosed frequently leading to fatal outcomes. Changes in electrocardiogram (ECG) are common in pulmonary embolism and rarely they can present with ST elevation. We here describe a 79-year-old woman who presented after a cardiac arrest and was found have ST-segment elevation on ECG with normal coronary angiogram while CT scan revealing pulmonary embolism.
