[Diagnostic schelf: a case of pulmonary embolism with ST elevation].
Some pulmonary embolism may present electrocardiogram changes, which suggest the diagnosis of myocardial infarction. We report the case of a patient with such a confounding presentation. In this patient, the wrong diagnosis of myocardial infarction led to a primary coronarography which was normal and finally, echocardiogram gave us the key leading to a fibrinolitic treatment which improved the patient.
