Abstract

Rapid recognition of ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction and electrocardiogram
interpretation in patients with dextrocardia could be a challenging situation. This case report
discusses presentation in a patient with dextrocardia and situs inversus who was found to have acute inferior
myocardial infarction. Percutaneous coronary intervention in cases of dextrocardia can be technically
challenging considering coronary origin and orientation, and difficulty in appropriate catheter selection.
