Abstract:

We report the case of a 67-year-old man with hypertension and coronary heart disease who underwent transurethral resection of the prostate surgery with chest tightness, continuous palpitation, dyspnea, 49 hours after back to ward. An electrocardiogram confirmed an inferior and an anterolateral ST depression myocardial infarction. Cardiac troponin I, (cTnI) was 0.08 ng/ml. This is typically acute myocardial infarction after non-cardiac surgery. So he was shifted to cardiologist department for further treatment and discharged two weeks later when he felt fine but was presented to emergency room and expired for acute heart failure one month after discharge.
