Abstract
The most common, clinically significant cause of ST elevation is an angiographically demonstrable occlusive disease due to atherosclerotic changes in coronary artery. Often, a patient presenting with non-specific complaints and ST-segment elevation on the electrocardiogram, is sent for a cardiac catheterization only to see no luminal stenosis on the angiogram. This clinical review is intended to inform emergency medicine physicians and internists about the conditions in which ST-segment elevation is accompanied with no atherosclerotic lesion on coronary angiography. These situations make a diverse array of conditions ranging from anomalous coronaries to anatomically normal coronaries with varied degrees of myocardial injury. These conditions are briefly reviewed in this article.
