title: Transient ST Segment Elevation following Indian Red Scorpion Sting with Non-Occlusive Right Coronary Artery Disease.
abstract: A 50 yr old female developed transient ST segment elevation due to an acute coronary vasospasm following a Indian Red Scorpion sting and the angiogram revealed 50% occlusion in right coronary artery (RCA).The possible mechanism is that the sympathetic over-activity could have aggravated the occlusion in the RCA as the RCA is more commonly prone to spasm compared to the other coronary arteries.
