ST-segment Elevation in Lead Augmented Vector Right may also be Caused by Diffuse Left Main Coronary
ST-segment Elevation in Lead Augmented Vector Right may also be Caused by Diffuse Left Main Coronary Artery Vasospasm Without Fixed Stenosis.
ST-segment deviation in lead augmented vector right (aVR) is useful for evaluating patients with acute coronary syndrome (ACS). The ST-segment elevation in this aVR in the patient with clinically suspected acute coronary syndrome suggests a strong possibility of left main coronary artery (LMCA) obstruction due to fixed stenosis. In this article, we report the first case, to our knowledge, of ST-segment elevation in lead aVR due to diffuse LMCA spasm. Copyright (c) 2008 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.
