Electrocardiographic changes in myocarditis mimic a wide range of ECG diagnoses ranging from ST-elevation myocardial infarction to complete heart block. We report a case of acute myocarditis in a young female with a wide range of ECG changes that mimic ST-elevation myocardial infarction and atrioventricular block.

Although acute myocarditis and coronary vasospasm are common differential diagnoses in the case of young patients with persistent ST elevation, the association of coronary vasospasm and acute fulminant myocarditis is a rare situation. We present the case of a 21 year-old male who presented with chest pain, ECG changes and biomarker levels initially interpreted as ST elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI), in which severe coronary vasospasm was identifi ed. Shortly after, he developed cardiogenic shock and fulminant acute myocarditis was suspected.

Wir berichten über eine 83-jährige Patientin mit einem STEMI (ST elevation myocardial infarction), welche unter der Thrombozytenaggregationshemmung und systemischen Antikoagulation ein Rektusscheidenhämatom nach einer Hustenattacke entwickelte. Die Patientin beklagte progrediente Schmerzen im linken Unterbauch, welche mit einer palpablen Raumforderung einhergingen und von einer Anämie begleitet waren. In der Abdomensonographie und der Computertomographie zeigte sich ein Rektusscheidenhämatom. Der Artikel erörtert Pathogenese, Klinik, Diagnostik und Therapie unter Berücksichtigung der aktuellen Literatur.
