[Normal coronary angiogram in patient with diagnosis of acute coronary syndrome with ST segment elevation. Was it possible to recognise acute pulmonary embolism earlier?].
A case of a 48 year old male scheduled for early invasive treatment of acute coronary syndrome with ST segment elevation is presented. Clinical suspicion of acute pulmonary embolism was undertaken because of normal coronary angiogram and was confirmed by pulmonary angiography. Differential diagnosis based on medical history, electrocardiogram and laboratory findings was discussed.
