The first electrocardiogram (ECG) recording in the emergency room showed sinus rhythm with abnormal repolarisation in lateral leads (Figure 1). LV mid and basal segments were severely hypokinetic, whereas apical segments were hypercontractile (Figure 2 and movie clip 1).
Transthoracic echocardiogram (4-chamber view) during end-diastole (a) and end-systole (b) shows basal and midventricular segmental hypokinesis (dotted line for reduced shortening) of the left ventricle (LV), with a well-preserved apical segmental systolic function (loop).
