Abstract

We report the case of an animal bite with a right forefoot avulsion wound and amputation of the fifth toe, for an emergency debridement operation under spinal anesthesia. An initial mistaken diagnosis of coronary artery disease with unstable angina was made because of the presence of resting angina, with the corresponding electrocardiographic findings. The patient was ultimately diagnosed with apical hypertrophic cardiomyopathy with normal coronary arteries based on his previous medical records. The outcome was favorable after treatment with a β-blocker.
