Hospital Central do Exército, Rio de Janeiro.

A 43 year old man was admitted to the hospital due to a syncopal episode and presented on the electrocardiogram a pattern of right bundle branch block (RBBB) associated with ST segment elevation from V1 to V4 and normal QT interval. Acute myocardial infarction was suspected but was not confirmed by laboratorial findings. Coronary arteriography was performed and revealed no obstructive disease. No sign suggesting structural heart disease was found. He remained asymptomatic but persisted with RBBB and ST segment elevation. He was discharged from the hospital and was referred to investigation for cardiac arrhythmia as an outpatient, but died suddenly two days later.

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

D016757 Death, Sudden, Cardiac Unexpected rapid natural death due to cardiovascular collapse within one hour of initial symptoms. It is usually caused by the worsening of existing heart diseases. The sudden onset of symptoms, such as CHEST PAIN and CARDIAC ARRHYTHMIAS, particularly VENTRICULAR TACHYCARDIA, can lead to the loss of consciousness and cardiac arrest followed by biological death.
