Abstract

The aVR-sign can indicate left main or multivessel coronary disease, but the sign is not STEMI eqvivalent and is not a sensitive sign for coronary disese. The following case is an example of this. An 89-year-old woman was admitted with chest pain, atrial fibrillation and multiple lead ST-segment depression but ST-segment elevation in lead aVR. The aVR-sign indicated urgent angiography with negative result. A spontaneous sinus conversion was observed with repolarization normalisation. Later the ECG demonstrated SA-blocks, and sinus arrest. Sick sinus syndrome was diagnosed and the patient was treated with pacemaker and oral anticoagulant. Orv Hetil. 2020; 161(11): 434-436.
