Key result
Wolff-Parkinson-White syndrome produces repolarization ECG changes that can both mimic and mask concurrent myocardial infarction.
Why the study?
Wolff-Parkinson-White syndrome repolarisation ECG changes can both mimic and mask myocardial infarction, causing extreme difficulty with ECG interpretation during concurrent presentation.
Wolff-Parkinson-White syndrome can mimic and mask myocardial infarction on ECG, complicating diagnosis when both occur concurrently.
Wolff-Parkinson-White (WPW) syndrome produces repolarisation electrocardiogram (ECG) changes that can both mimic and mask myocardial infarction. Concurrent presentation with both conditions can cause extreme difficulty with ECG interpretation. We present a case of a 46-year-old man, with WPW ECG and concurrent inferior ST-elevation myocardial infarction.
