Shark fin ECG pattern in a patient with acute ascending aortic dissection
Subject
Aortic dissection, Shark fin, ECG pattern - STEMI
Description
Abstract
The ‘shark-fin’ ECG-sign is a rare electrocardiographic pattern seen in ACS, typically associated with poor prognosis.
However, its manifestation in acute aortic syndromes remains largely unexplored. Here, we present a case of a
patient diagnosed with Ascending Aortic Dissection, who presented to ED with acute chest pain and shark-fin
ECG-pattern.
Keywords Aortic dissection, Shark fin, ECG pattern - STEMI
