Many conditions other than acute myocardial infarction cause elevation of ST segments on an electrocardiogram. This review explains the conditions that may mimic acute myocardial infarction electrocardiographically. Because decisions about reperfusion therapy must be made quickly for patients with myocardial infarction, it is important to recognize and differentiate other causes of ST-segment elevation.

Not Every ST-Segment Elevation Is a STEMI
The masquerading act of ST elevation
TLDR
A case of Prinzmetal’s angina is reported which mimics presentation of STEMI in many respects and is considered to indicate the quality of care.
Electrocardiographic diagnosis of ST-elevation myocardial infarction.
Gastrointestinal Distention Masquerading as ST-Segment Elevation Myocardial Infarction
ST-segment elevation in pulmonary thromboembolism.
TLDR
This case report is about a patient diagnosed with PTE, whose electrocardiogram (ECG) mimicked AMI, because of the benefit provided by early reperfusion in the presence of AMI with STsegment elevation.
A Rare Cause of ST-Segment Elevation
TLDR
A 45 year-old female with recurred breast cancer was pre-cancerous and a very rare case with ST-segment elevation from cancer invasion to the right ventricle and interventricular septum is reported.
ST-segment Elevation: Myocardial Infarction or Simulacrum?
TLDR
Several STEMI mimickers are presented, including coronary vasospasm, Takotsubo cardiomyopathy, coronary arteritis/aneurysm, myopericarditis, Brugada syndrome, and hemodynamically significant pulmonary embolism with right ventricular strain.
A 40-year-old Woman with Chest Pain, ST Elevation, Elevated Troponin and Normal Coronary Arteries: A Case Report
TLDR
A case of Myocarditis is reported which underscores the importance of identifying the clinical presentation of acute myocarditis and the electrocardiographic changes that can be associated with it.
ST elevation: Differential diagnosis and caveats. A comprehensive review to help distinguish ST elevation myocardial infarction from nonischemic etiologies of ST elevation.
“Ischemic” ST elevation in a woman with left ventricular hypertrophy
TLDR
The case of a woman who presented with ST elevation and episodes of chest pain, mimicking an acute myocardial infarction, and ECG anomalies were related to asymmetric left ventricular hypertrophy and aortic stenosis is reported.

TLDR
Thrombolytic agent was appropriately given in all cases of AMI except when associated with atypical STE, where it was inappropriately withheld 67% of the time.

TLDR
A clinical prediction rule based on a set of electrocardiographic criteria, which are based on simple ST-segment changes, may help identify patients with acute myocardial infarction, who can then receive appropriate treatment.
