Tomb Stoning of ST Segment in Acute Myocardial Infarction

Abstract

Cardiovascular disease is a leading cause of death in India. ST Elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) is associated with high risk of morbidity and mortality. In recent times due to early diagnosis and timely reperfusion, survival after STEMI has considerably increased. We present a case of high-risk STEMI which was managed by timely reperfusion by thrombolysis and subsequent coronary angiogram.
