Abstract
Here, we report a rare case of a 22-year-old female presenting with recurrent chest pain mimicking inferior ST-elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) but ultimately attributed to an aortic aneurysm. Despite facing initial challenges in diagnosis, such as normal troponin levels and temporary electrocardiogram (ECG) changes, advanced imaging showed a large mass in the chest pressing on the right coronary artery. Prompt multidisciplinary intervention, including surgical resection of the aneurysm, led to successful management and improved outcomes. This case highlights the importance of considering unusual etiologies in atypical presentations of myocardial infarction, necessitating comprehensive evaluation and collaboration among various specialties for optimal patient care.
在此，我们报告了一例罕见病例，患者是一名 22 岁女性，反复出现胸痛，模仿下 ST 段抬高型心肌梗死（STEMI），但最终归因于主动脉瘤。尽管最初的诊断面临挑战，如肌钙蛋白水平正常和暂时性心电图（ECG）改变，但先进的成像技术显示胸腔内有一个巨大肿块压迫右冠状动脉。及时的多学科干预，包括动脉瘤的手术切除，使患者得到了成功的治疗，并改善了预后。本病例强调了在心肌梗死的非典型表现中考虑不寻常病因的重要性，有必要进行全面评估并与各专科合作，以优化患者护理。
