Internal Medicine, Weiss Memorial Hospital, Chicago, USA.
A previously healthy, 28-year-old man presented with a two-day history of diarrhea and chest pain, suggestive of infectious myocarditis. Initial workup revealed elevated troponin-I levels and diffuse ST-segment elevations on electrocardiogram (ECG). Transthoracic echocardiography showed a reduced left ventricular ejection fraction (40-45%), posteroinferior wall akinesis, and a small pericardial effusion.

Instances of hypocalcemia-induced TTS and STE are exceedingly rare in medical literature. This paper presents the case of a 75-year-old woman with advanced ovarian cancer and no prior heart issues, who exhibited diffuse STE on electrocardiogram, resembling acute coronary syndrome.
