Unusual STEMI Mimicker: A Case Report

Chest pain from myocarditis may resemble typical angina and may be accompanied by ECG changes including ST segment elevation. Acute myocarditis is a known cause of ST elevation but there are no reported cases of acute myocarditis presenting as transient ST elevation in a specific coronary territory. We report the case of a young male who presented as STEMI but his coronary angiogram was normal and ST elevation settled down immediately after coronary angiography. Hence, a high index of suspicion in an appropriate clinical setting can avoid inadvertent coronary angiography or thrombolysis in these patients.
