We report a case of a 69-year-old man presenting with acute right chest pain radiating to the right shoulder. Physical examination revealed a right sided apex beat with a palpable liver on the left side. Reversed normalizing electrocardiogram are presented, allowing for correct diagnosis of an acute anterior myocardial infarction. Dextrocardia with situs inversus is an uncommon congenital condition, the patient also diagnosed hypertrophic cardiomyopathy by two dimensional echocardiography. Successful percutaneous coronary intervention was performed and the patient was discharged after uneventful recovery.
