Abstrakt		Bolniki z AKS imajo lahko povsem enake bolezenske simptome in znake. Pri obeh bolezenskih sindromih so navadno prisotne tudi spremembe v EKG. V pričujočem prispevku predstavljamo primer bolnice s PE, ki je tožila nad bolečinami v prsih in težkim dihanjem in pri kateri so bili prehodno v EKG prisotni negativni T valovi v odvodih V3-V6. Zlasti slednje je vodilo naše diferencialno diagnostično razmišljanje v smeri AKS. Po podatkih iz literature so namreč negativni T valovi v sklopu PE navadno omejeni na V1-V3/V4 in tudi po naših kliničnih izkušnjah se le redko razširijo na odvode stranske sten (V5-V6). Mnogo bolj pogosto srečamo tako jasno izražene in obsežne EKG spremembe v sklopu AKS, pri Wallensovem sindromu. Kadarkoli, po negativni koronarografiji smo postavili pravilno diagnozo in bolnico uspešno zdravili. Dejstvo, da lahko v sklopu PE nastanejo negativni T valovi v vseh prekordialnih odvodih, pomeni dodatno prekrivanje klinične slike z AKS, kar je potrebno imeti v mislih, ko imamo pred seboj bolnika z akutno nastalo prsno bolečino.ACS and PE may present with almost identical symptoms and signs, both are alsoassociated with EKG abnormalities. In the following article we present a clinical case of a patient with PE, who complained about chest pain and breathing difficulties and had transient negative T waves in ECG leads V3-V6. It was predominantly ECG that misled our diagnostic consideration in favour of ACS. Namely, according to the literature, T wave inversion in the setting of acute PE usually encompasses leads V1-V3/V4. Also according to our experience it seldom involves lateral precordial leads (V5-V6). Much more frequently such pronounced and widespread ECG changes develop during the course of ACS as a part of the Wellens syndrome. Nevertheless, after negative coronarography, a correct diagnosis of PE was established and patient was treated successfully. In conclusion. PE can cause widespread T wave inversion in all precordial ECG leads and thus mimic ACS. As such it poses additional diagnostic challenge in the setting of acute cardiac care.
