Key result
Acute pancreatitis can present with chest pain and unusual electrocardiographic changes, such as broad, tall, and peaked T waves, mimicking acute myocardial ischemia despite normal coronary arteries.
Case Report (n=1)
Acute pancreatitis can cause transient, severe electrocardiographic changes mimicking acute myocardial ischemia, likely due to coronary vasospasm or a cardiobiliary reflex, even in the absence of obstructive coronary artery disease.
Consider pancreatitis in atypical chest pain with peaked T waves; leaves open mechanisms like vasospasm in case reports.

Antonelli et al. (2016) conducted a case report in Acute pancreatitis (n=1). Acute pancreatitis was evaluated on Electrocardiographic changes and symptom resolution. Acute pancreatitis can present with chest pain and unusual electrocardiographic changes, such as broad, tall, and peaked T waves, mimicking acute myocardial ischemia despite normal coronary arteries.
