Acute RCA occlusion rarely presents with isolated V1-V3 ST-elevation mimicking anterior MI.

Highlights a rare atypical electrocardiographic presentation of right coronary artery occlusion mimicking anterior myocardial infarction.
Clinicians should consider right coronary occlusion in isolated V1-V3 ST elevation; single case leaves open true incidence and diagnostic implications.
It is rare to observe ST-segment elevation in only the anterior leads and not the inferior leads during right coronary artery occlusion. We describe a case with acute myocardial infarction (MI) by right coronary artery occlusion who developed ST-segment elevation only in the precordial leads V1 to V3.

Kim et al. (2010) conducted a case report in Acute Myocardial Infarction (n=1). Right coronary artery occlusion was evaluated on Electrocardiographic presentation. Acute right coronary artery occlusion can rarely present with ST-segment elevation restricted to the precordial leads V1 to V3, mimicking an anterior myocardial infarction.
