Abstract

We present a challenging case of a patient with an isolated right ventricular myocardial infarction (iRVMI) caused by the spontaneous occlusion of a right ventricular branch mimicking an anterior myocardial infarction on the electrocardiogram. A high index of suspicion is required to diagnose an iRVMI because the electrocardiogram may be misleading.
