Abstract

Left bundle branch block or ventricular paced rhythms can sometimes make acute myocardial ischaemia difficult to diagnose in the 12-lead ECG. Several algorithms for diagnosing ST segment elevation myocardial infarction have been described with different sensitivity and specificity. The 12-lead ECG may also serve as a valuable tool in evaluating and diagnosing pacemaker dysfunction. We present a patient with a ventricular paced rhythm who was diagnosed with ST segment elevation myocardial infarction and pacemaker dysfunction.
Keywords: ST segment elevation myocardial infarction; electrocardiogram; pacemaker dysfunction ST segment elevation myocardial infarction; electrocardiogram; pacemaker dysfunction
