Abstract
This case is being reported to draw the attention of non-cardiac practicing physicians including pulmonologists, intensivists, and, as a matter of fact all primary care and emergency clinicians, towards a relatively uncommon ECG finding that could be the potential lead in suspecting the diagnosis of a commonly encountered, often fatal medical condition. Together with a high clinical index of suspicion, this alone could guide the decision-making process for further work-up and specific therapy. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
