Abstract

Patients with chest discomfort or other ischaemic symptoms, who develop new ST-segment elevations in two contiguous leads or new bundle branch blocks ST-elevation is defined as ST segment elevation myocardial infarction in the guideline titled 'The fourth universal definition of myocardial infarction' published by the European Society of Cardiology in 2018. Elevation in the segment of the ECG can be observed in other non-cardiac pathologies apart from acute coronary syndrome. The displacement of the mediastinal structures in thorax surgeries is a rare cause of pseudoischemic ECG changes. Our case is a 63 years old male patient who has no cardiovascular risk factors except smoking. In the postoperative period of our patient, whom right lung resection due to lung malignancy is performed, ECG demonstrates diffuse ST segment elevation in precordial leads. In this case report, it is aimed to present a patient of pneumonectomy which may cause ST segment elevation in ECG, as a non-cardiac pathology, whose coronary angiography revealed normal coronary arteries.

Özet

Avrupa Kardiyoloji Cemiyetinin 2018 yılında yayınladığı ‘Miyokardiyal enfarktüsün dördüncü evrensel tanımı’ isimli kılavuzunda ST segment elevasyonlu miyokard enfarktüs; göğüs ağrısı veya başka iskemik semptomu olan hastada elektrokardiyogramda (EKG) komşu iki derivasyonda yeni gelişen ST segment elevasyonu veya yeni gelişimli dal bloğu olarak tanımlanmıştır. EKG’de ST segmentinde görülen elevasyon nadiren kardiyak dışı sebeplere bağlı olarak da görülmektedir. Toraks cerrahilerinde mediastinal yapıların yer değiştirmesi de psödoiskemik EKG değişikliklerinin sebebi arasında yer almaktadır. Vakamız; geçmişte sigara içiciliği dışında kardiyovasküler risk faktörü olmayan 63 yaşındaki erkek hastadır. Akciğer malignitesi sebebiyle sağ akciğer rezeksiyonu yapılan hastanın postoperatif EKG’sinde yeni gelişimli anterior derivasyonlarda ST segment elevasyonu görüldü. Bu yazıda; yapılan koroner anjiyografide koroner arterleri normal tespit edilen hastanın, iskemik koroner patolojiler dışında, nadir de olsa EKG’de ST segment elevasyonuna sebep olabilecek bir pnömonektomi vakasının sunulması amaçlanmıştır.
