ABSTRACT

Abnormalities in the aVR lead would provide useful information on the risk of coronary heart disease. This clinical case is an illustration. Indeed, this is a 60-year-old patient, an active smoker and a former type 2 diabetic who presented with angina-like chest pain with a positive stress test. The initial electrocardiogram showed a discreet elevation of the ST segment and an aVR necrosis Q wave with mirror signs in the inferior territory. An ischemic heart disease with altered ventricular ejection fraction was objectified. The diagnostic coronary angiography objectified a multi-vessel coronary lesion. Ultimately, the aVR lead provides valuable clinical information and argues for special attention to this often forgotten lead.

ABSTRACT

Acute chest pain is usually expressed in typical language; which is sometimes assigned a particular sign. One of the signs is that of Levine, usuallytranslating a coronary involvement. This clinical case highlights a patient who is admitted for chest pain with Levine's sign and a non-contributory electrocardiogram. Biological and coronarographic explorations carried out for this purpose revealed occlusion of the proximal right coronary artery by thrombosis, successfully revascularized. This observation highlights the place of the interrogation in the assessment of any patient.


La douleur thoracique aiguë s'exprime généralement dans un langage typique; qui se voit parfois attribuer un signe particulier. Un des signes est celui de Levine, traduisant en général une atteinte coronarienne. Ce présent cas clinique met en évidence un patient qui est admis pour une douleur thoracique avec des caractères du signe de Levine et un électrocardiogramme non contributif. Les explorations biologique et coronarographique réalisées à cet effet ont permis de mettre en évidence une occlusion de l'artère coronaire droite proximale par thrombose, revascularisée avec succès.Cette observation met en lumière la place de l'interrogatoire dans l'évaluation de tout patient.
