title: Electrocardiographic appearance of a non-Q wave acute myocardial infarction in a patient with thyrotoxicosis. A case history.
abstract: A patient with severe thyrotoxicosis developed the typical electrocardiographic (ECG) evolution of a non-q myocardial infarction. This occurred without evidence of myocardial necrosis and in the absence of coronary artery disease. Treatment with beta blockers resolved the ECG changes despite the persistence of the thyrotoxic state.
