ABSTRACT
It is rare to observe ST-segment elevations in the precordial leads that are caused by an occlusion of the right coronary artery and/or its branches. We report here on two cases of acute occlusion of the right coronary artery or its branches that caused acute right ventricular myocardial infarction with ST-segment elevations in the anterior precordial leads. These cases should remind us that the presence of diffuse ST-segment elevations in the precordial leads could be due to acute occlusion of the right coronary artery.
