Cardiac Metastasis of Pulmonary Spindle Cell Carcinoma Mimicking Lateral ST-Segment Elevation Myocardial Infarction
In advanced cancer, myocardial metastasis should be considered a cause of persistent ST-segment elevations. Echocardiography should be prioritized to identify structural abnormalities, such as malignant myocardial infiltration, whereas coronary angiography remains essential to rule out acute MI when clinically indicated.
