Acute Inferior Pseudo Infarction Pattern in a Patient with Hyperosmolar Hyperglycemic State-Juniper Publishers
JUNIPER PUBLISHERS - OPEN ACCESS JOURNAL OF CARDIOLOGY & CARDIOVASCULAR THERAPY Abstract ST elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) is a medical emergency that requires timely revascularization for better outcomes. However, other causes of ST elevation (STE) should always be considered in the differential diagnosis. Of these causes, diabetic ketoacidosis has been reported in the past, even in normokalemic patients, however, to our knowledge, hyperosmolar hyperglycemic state (HHS) has never been reported to be associated with ST elevations. Here, we present a case of HHS in a patient who had inferolateral STE on EKG with normal coronary angiogram Keywords: ST elevation myocardial infarction; Hyperosmolar hyperglycemic state Introduction ST elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) is a medical emergency, and the earlier the revascularization is achieved via thrombolysis or percutaneous coronary intervention, the better the prognosis.
