An unusual case study of cardiac chest pain and the challenges of identifying myocardial infarction from ST-elevation only

A paramedic crew were dispatched to a 50-year-old male presenting with central chest pain. Upon arrival, the man was in a critical condition in cardiogenic shock, with an ECG that was not typical for displaying signs of an acute myocardial infarction demonstrated by STelevation.
