  • Title: Case report: Severe hypercalcemia mimicking ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction.
    Author: Schutt RC, Bibawy J, Elnemr M, Lehnert AL, Putney D, Thomas AS, Barker CM, Pratt CM.
    Journal: Methodist Debakey Cardiovasc J; 2014; 10(3):193-7. PubMed ID: 25574349.
    Abstract:
    The identification of ST-segment elevation on the electrocardiogram is an integral part of decision making in patients who present with suspected ischemia. Unfortunately, ST-segment elevation is nonspecific and may be caused by noncardiac causes such as electrolyte abnormalities. We present a case of ST-segment elevation secondary to hypercalcemia in a patient with metastatic cancer.
