A male in his mid 50s, chronic smoker and hypertensive for 10 years presented with history suggestive of typical angina, electrocardiographic evidence of pre-excitation and serial elevation of cardiac biomarkers. Serial electrocardiograms showed subtle changes (axis shift, horizontal ST-segment changes) that could be presumptive of an anterior wall myocardial infarction. Speckle tracking echocardiography revealed territorial reduction of longitudinal strain corresponding to the left anterior descending artery with coronary angiography corroborating the same and underwent successful revascularisation. Exercise stress testing showed abrupt and complete disappearance of delta wave and normalisation of PR interval which indicates that the patient has low risk of developing malignant arrhythmias and sudden cardiac death.

D011226 Pre-Excitation Syndromes A group of conditions in which HEART VENTRICLE activation by the atrial impulse is faster than the normal impulse conduction from the SINOATRIAL NODE. In these pre-excitation syndromes, atrial impulses often bypass the ATRIOVENTRICULAR NODE delay and travel via ACCESSORY CONDUCTING PATHWAYS connecting the atrium directly to the BUNDLE OF HIS.

D004562 Electrocardiography Recording of the moment-to-moment electromotive forces of the HEART as projected onto various sites on the body's surface, delineated as a scalar function of time. The recording is monitored by a tracing on slow moving chart paper or by observing it on a cardioscope, which is a CATHODE RAY TUBE DISPLAY. 12-Lead ECG,12-Lead EKG,12-Lead Electrocardiography,Cardiography,ECG,EKG,Electrocardiogram,Electrocardiograph,12 Lead ECG,12 Lead EKG,12 Lead Electrocardiography,12-Lead ECGs,12-Lead EKGs,12-Lead Electrocardiographies,Cardiographies,ECG, 12-Lead,EKG, 12-Lead,Electrocardiograms,Electrocardiographies, 12-Lead,Electrocardiographs,Electrocardiography, 12-Lead
D005080 Exercise Test Controlled physical activity which is performed in order to allow assessment of physiological functions, particularly cardiovascular and pulmonary, but also aerobic capacity. Maximal (most intense) exercise is usually required but submaximal exercise is also used.
