Moreover, it is rarer for Electrocardiography (ECG) to show such obvious ischemia in patients with MB. Case presentation: We report a 36-year-old male who presented with subxiphoid pain. ECG showed ST segment depression and T-wave inversion with symmetry in leads V2 to V6. Emergency Coronary Angiography (CAG) confirmed that it was caused by MB. Results: CAG showed MB of the Left Anterior Descending (LAD) artery with a 1.5 cm intramural segment and that the vascular lumen was compressed 80% during systole. At the same time, gastroscopy showed peripyloric and antral ulcers. The patient received Calcium Channel Blocke.. View More»
