Paradoxical Infarction? Inferior STEMI With Unexpected Discovery of ASD in an Oncology Patient: A Case of Combined Percutaneous Intervention.

This case report explores the management of a 56-year-old female oncology patient presenting with acute ST-elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) and an incidental atrial septal defect (ASD). The patient, with a history of rectal cancer and hypothyroidism, experienced acute chest pain and dyspnea. She was diagnosed with an inferior STEMI and underwent percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) with the placement of three medicated stents in the right coronary artery.

[Anterior myocardial infarction associated with anomalous origin of the left main coronary artery].

Background: Coronary anomalies are those conditions characterized by the abnormal origin or course of the epicardial arteries. This generates challenges at the time of diagnosis by catheterization, which is why it is important that the cardiologist is related to these variations. The origin of the left coronary artery in the right sinus of Valsalva has a low incidence.

[Takotsubo cardiomyopathy associated with abnormal birth of the coronary arteries].

Background: Takotsubo cardiomyopathy (TM) is a form of non-ischemic cardiomyopathy. It is characterized by transient regional systolic dysfunction of the left ventricle that mimics acute myocardial infarction. The main objective of this article is to report the case of a patient with TM associated with abnormal birth of the left coronary trunk.
