Key result
In a 34-year-old woman, negative delta waves of Wolff-Parkinson-White syndrome simulated an inferior myocardial infarction, which resolved following successful catheter ablation.

WPW delta waves may mimic inferior MI on ECG; single case leaves open broader diagnostic validation.
Case Report (n=1)
Negative delta waves in Wolff-Parkinson-White syndrome can simulate the Q waves of an inferior myocardial infarction, which can be definitively diagnosed and treated with electrophysiologic testing and catheter ablation.
Lustik et al. (1999) conducted a case report in Wolff-Parkinson-White syndrome simulating inferior myocardial infarction (n=1). Catheter ablation was evaluated on Resolution of inferior Q waves. In a 34-year-old woman, negative delta waves of Wolff-Parkinson-White syndrome simulated an inferior myocardial infarction, which resolved following successful catheter ablation.
