Key Points

Proximal LAD occlusion can occur with normal ECG and cardiac markers, leading to diagnostic delays.
The patient, a 57-year-old male, presented with atypical findings that complicated diagnosis.
Early bedside echocardiography was crucial for timely diagnosis and management of the condition.
Subtle signs in acute coronary syndromes underscore the need for high clinical suspicion in diagnosis.

Implication

Case report illustrates proximal LAD occlusion with normal ECG and cardiac markers, highlighting diagnostic challenges.

Abstract

Acute coronary syndromes (ACS) can occasionally present with subtle or even absent electrocardiographic ndings, leading to diagnostic delays. We report a case of proximal left anterior descending artery (LAD) occlusion in a 57-year-old male who presented with atypical ndings, including a normal initial ECG and cardiac markers. Early bedside echocardiography and high clinical suspicion played a critical role in the diagnosis and management.
