Abstract

Acute myocardial infarction (AMI) is the most frequent cause of death worldwide. The timely diagnosis of AMI, especially ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction, is a key to successful management. A 12-lead electrocardiography (ECG) should be obtained and interpreted as soon as possible. The 12 lead ECG diagnosis may be more difficult in patients without diagnostic ST-segment elevation but with persistent typical ischemic symptoms. Here, we present a diabetic patient with AMI where the ST-segment elevation was masked by glibenclamide (glyburide) initially and delayed ECG change was revealed after glibenclamide was eliminated.
