especially if associated with cardiac arrest&#46; Neither the patient&#39;s demographic characteristics&#44; blood test results&#44; ECG nor echocardiogram allowed us to be sure of the diagnosis&#46; Moreover&#44; even though the most common cause of cardiac arrest is ischemic heart disease&#44; here the initial coronary angiogram was inconclusive&#46;</p><p id="par0060" class="elsevierStylePara elsevierViewall">In patients with suspected ACS but no coronary obstructive lesions on the coronary angiogram&#44; CMR may prove very useful&#44; since it can detect subtle and reversible coronary events &#40;distal or small arteries&#44; vasospasm&#41;&#46;<a class="elsevierStyleCrossRef" href="#bib0025"><span class="elsevierStyleSup">1</span></a> CMR enables an accurate differential diagnosis of ACS and myocarditis&#46;

where the AV block involved cardiac arrest&#44; the decision was even more important due to its potential prognostic implications&#46; Despite the diagnosis of ACS&#44; for which the patient did not undergo reperfusion therapy&#44; the ECG at discharge did not reveal marked electrical conduction abnormalities besides the QS wave shown in V1 and V2 &#40;<a class="elsevierStyleCrossRef" href="#fig0005">Figure 1</a>C&#41;&#46; However&#44;

this case allows us to assess the importance of the differential diagnosis of ACS and acute myocarditis&#46; On the one hand&#44; CMR can provide important information to distinguish between both etiologies&#44; while on the other&#44; it is important to highlight that an AV block related to ACS involving the septum does not always require permanent pacing as long as the patient fully recovers AV conduction after the acute phase&#46;</p></span><span id="sec0015" class="elsevierStyleSection elsevierViewall"><span class="elsevierStyleSectionTitle" id="sect0035">Conflicts of interest</span><p id="par0080" class="elsevierStylePara elsevierViewall">The authors have no conflicts of interest to declare&#46;</p></span></span>"

a coronary angiogram was performed&#46; The patient was diagnosed with diffuse triple-vessel coronary artery disease&#44; but no severe obstructive lesions were reported &#40;<a class="elsevierStyleCrossRef" href="#fig0010">Figure 2</a>&#41;&#46;</p><elsevierMultimedia ident="fig0010"></elsevierMultimedia><p id="par0030" class="elsevierStylePara elsevierViewall">The patient&#39;s family stated that she had not suffered previous episodes of chest pain&#44;

so corticosteroids were administered empirically&#46;</p><p id="par0035" class="elsevierStylePara elsevierViewall">During her hospital stay&#44; good neurological status was confirmed by a sedation window&#44; which enabled early extubation after normothermia was achieved&#46; After 72 hours&#44; AV conduction was recovered&#44; initially with complete right bundle branch block&#44; albeit with further QRS narrowing until complete normalization &#40;<a class="elsevierStyleCrossRef" href="#fig0005">Figure 1</a>C&#41;&#46;</p><p id="par0040" class="elsevierStylePara elsevierViewall">Finally&#44;

indicating edema&#46; Moreover&#44; a subendocardial perfusion defect&#44; alongside transmural delayed enhancement at the same level with no viability&#44; confirmed the diagnosis of acute septal myocardial infarction &#40;<a class="elsevierStyleCrossRef" href="#fig0015">Figure 3</a>&#41;&#46;</p><elsevierMultimedia ident="fig0015"></elsevierMultimedia><p id="par0045" class="elsevierStylePara elsevierViewall">The coronary angiogram was reviewed and the absence of the first septal branch of the left coronary artery was corroborated&#44;

who ultimately decided against implantation owing to the ischemic etiology of the transient AV block&#44; which had already been resolved&#46; The patient then completed a cardiac rehabilitation program and has remained asymptomatic ever since&#46;</p></span><span id="sec0010" class="elsevierStyleSection elsevierViewall"><span class="elsevierStyleSectionTitle" id="sect0030">Discussion</span><p id="par0055" class="elsevierStylePara elsevierViewall">This particular case shows how difficult a differential diagnosis of ACS and acute viral myocarditis can be&#44; especially if associated with cardiac arrest&#46; Neither the patient&#39;s demographic characteristics&#44; blood test results&#44; ECG nor echocardiogram allowed us to be sure of the diagnosis&#46; Moreover&#44; even though the most common cause of cardiac arrest is ischemic heart disease&#44; here the initial coronary angiogram was inconclusive&#46;</p><p id="par0060" class="elsevierStylePara elsevierViewall">In patients with suspected ACS but no coronary obstructive lesions on the coronary angiogram&#44; CMR may prove very useful&#44; since it can detect subtle and reversible coronary events &#40;distal or small arteries&#44; vasospasm&#41;&#46;<a class="elsevierStyleCrossRef" href="#bib0025"><span class="elsevierStyleSup">1</span></a> CMR enables an accurate differential diagnosis of ACS and myocarditis&#46; Unlike myocarditis&#44; ACS is accompanied by decreased myocardial perfusion in anatomically delimited vascular segments&#44; in addition to characteristic subendocardial or transmural late gadolinium enhancement&#46;<a class="elsevierStyleCrossRef" href="#bib0030"><span class="elsevierStyleSup">2</span></a></p><p id="par0065" class="elsevierStylePara elsevierViewall">Another point of discussion is the indication for permanent pacing&#46; When transient&#44; third-degree AV block secondary to ACS has no indication for permanent pacing&#46;<a class="elsevierStyleCrossRef" href="#bib0035"><span class="elsevierStyleSup">3</span></a> In this case&#44; where the AV block involved cardiac arrest&#44; the decision was even more important due to its potential prognostic implications&#46; Despite the diagnosis of ACS&#44; for which the patient did not undergo reperfusion therapy&#44; the ECG at discharge did not reveal marked electrical conduction abnormalities besides the QS wave shown in V1 and V2 &#40;<a class="elsevierStyleCrossRef" href="#fig0005">Figure 1</a>C&#41;&#46; However&#44; care must be taken with an ECG alteration such as this&#44; since placing ECG leads higher up on the chest wall can generate this finding even without the presence of a myocardial infarction&#46;</p><p id="par0070" class="elsevierStylePara elsevierViewall">A similar situation occurs during percutaneous alcohol septal ablation for the treatment of hypertrophic obstructive cardiomyopathy&#46; A high percentage of these patients require a temporary pacemaker in the early post-ablation period&#44; but ultimately less than 10&#37; require permanent pacing due to persistent AV blockage&#46;<a class="elsevierStyleCrossRef" href="#bib0040"><span class="elsevierStyleSup">4</span></a></p><p id="par0075" class="elsevierStylePara elsevierViewall">In conclusion&#44; this case allows us to assess the importance of the differential diagnosis of ACS and acute myocarditis&#46; On the one hand&#44; CMR can provide important information to distinguish between both etiologies&#44; while on the other&#44; it is important to highlight that an AV block related to ACS involving the septum does not always require permanent pacing as long as the patient fully recovers AV conduction after the acute phase&#46;</p></span><span id="sec0015" class="elsevierStyleSection elsevierViewall"><span class="elsevierStyleSectionTitle" id="sect0035">Conflicts of interest</span><p id="par0080" class="elsevierStylePara elsevierViewall">The authors have no conflicts of interest to declare&#46;</p></span></span>"
