Primary PCI for acute myocardial infarction in a patient with situs inversus totalis and dextrocardia
2021, Journal of Cardiology CasesCitation Excerpt :Estimated prevalence of situs inversus dextrocardia in the general population is about 1:8000 to 1:10,000. Risk of coronary atherosclerosis and acute myocardial infarction (MI) in this population is similar to that of the general population [1]. There are few case reports of acute MI in dextrocardia but detailed descriptions of electrocardiogram (ECG) identification and approach to emergency primary percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) are lacking.
Acute coronary syndrome in Dextrocardia
2021, American Journal of Emergency MedicineCitation Excerpt :Subsequently, dextrocardia does not appear to be an independent risk factor for the development of CAD compared to the general population [1]. In one case series studying sudden cardiac death in dextrocardia, obesity, hypertension, and DM were prevalent risk factors [4]. In patients without an established diagnosis of dextrocardia, identifying ACS is challenging due to the left-right symmetry abnormalities which leads to a contralateral symptomatology [1].
Acute myocardial infarction in dextrocardia — A diagnostic and therapeutic challenge. Can dextrocardia be a risk factor?
2018, Journal of Cardiology CasesCitation Excerpt :Although there are case reports which showed myocardial infarction in dextrocardia, they already had established risk factors for coronary artery disease. In one autopsy study by Hynes et al., who studied six patients with situs inversus totalis, five patients died suddenly and four of these cases had severe coronary artery disease [8]. As the mean age of this study was 56 years and three patients had concomitant hypertension, the results can be confounded.
Triple vessel percutaneous coronary intervention in a patient with situs inversus dextrocardia using a transradial approach
2016, Indian Heart JournalCitation Excerpt :The estimated incidence is 1:8000 to 1:10,000 live births.1 These individuals usually have structurally normal hearts, normal longevity and coronary artery disease frequency similar to the general population.2 There are isolated reports of coronary angiography (CAG) and percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) in these patients.3–8
