A patient in their 30s with no cardiac history was transferred to the emergency department with 5 hours of palpitations and chest distress accompanied by amaurosis and weakness. Four hours before, the patient was admitted to another hospital with a heart rate of 123 beats per minute; their blood pressure fell to 86/42 mm Hg. A 12-lead electrocardiogram (ECG) was recorded at that hospital and demonstrated a distinct ST-segment elevation in lead aVR and ST-segment depression in leads I, II, III, aVF, and V2 to V6 (, A).
