Key result
Angioplasty resolves exercise-induced ST-segment elevation caused by critical wrapped LAD stenosis.
Why the study?
Exercise-induced ST-segment elevation in patients without previous myocardial infarction is uncommon and may indicate significant coronary artery disease or vasospasm.
Case Report (n=1)
Supports angioplasty consideration in rare multi-lead exercise ST elevation from wrapped LAD stenosis; leaves open generalizability beyond single cases.
Exercise-induced ST-segment elevation in patients without previous myocardial infarction is a relatively uncommon finding. When it does occur, it may be associated with significant coronary artery disease or coronary vasospasm. Here we describe a case of exercise-induced ST-segment elevation in both anterior and inferior leads in a patient with a critical stenosis on a wrapped left anterior descending artery, successfully treated with transluminal coronary artery angioplasty.

Sordi et al. (2009) conducted a case report in Exercise-induced ST-segment elevation (n=1). Transluminal coronary artery angioplasty was evaluated. Transluminal coronary artery angioplasty successfully treated a patient with exercise-induced ST-segment elevation caused by critical stenosis of a wrapped left anterior descending artery.
