An 80-year-old woman with history of intermittent chest pain presented with a new self-limited episode. A 12-lead electrocardiogram was performed while she was asymptomatic, showing large T waves in V to V. We report a not so known electrocardiographic pattern that can be particularly valuable for identifying patients at high risk of extensive myocardial infarction and its subsequent complications.

Background: Patients presenting to the emergency department (ED) with chest pain often have abnormal high-sensitivity troponin (hsTn). However, only about 5% have an acute coronary syndrome. We aimed to assess the safety, feasibility and utility of a clinical disposition protocol including outpatient observation with stress cardiac-magnetic-resonance (CMR) in intermediate-risk patients with abnormal hsTn of unclear etiology.

Masquerading bundle branch block (MBBB) is a rare presentation of bifascicular blocks. It is the result of a right bundle branch block associated with an advanced left anterior fascicular block due to extensive damage to the conduction system. We present the case of a 75-year-old male with late onset presentation anterior wall myocardial infarction (MI) with ongoing ischemia (which evolved into a ventricular septal defect [VSD]).

Cardiologists and gastroenterologists often encounter the coexistence of symptoms and functional abnormalities, but determining causation is more difficult. In 1962 Smith and Papp first coined the term "linked angina". Their statement was preceded by the experiment whereby increase in bile duct pressure elicited the typical chest pain in patients with ischemic heart disease.
