“…Brugada syndrome, an inherited disease with ST-segment elevation in leads V 1 to V 3 with or without right bundle branch block on the ECG and no structural heart disease, has been misdiagnosed as STEMI previously. 20,21 Coronary aneurysm and aortic stenosis are known causes of myocardial infarction without atherosclerosis. 22 Multiple (case) reports have documented cardiomyopathies, aortic dissection and subarachnoidal haemorrhage as the underlying cause in patients with ST-segment elevation on the 12-lead ECG.…”

Background/Objectives. A rapid diagnosis of STsegment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI)is mandatory for optimal treatment. However, a small proportion of patients with suspected STEMI suffer from other conditions. Although case reports have described these conditions, a contemporary systematic analysis is lacking. We report the incidence, clinical characteristics and outcome of patients with suspected STEMI referred for primary percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) with a final diagnosis other than STEMI.
