Pulmonary embolism(PE) is a serious disease which is one of the most important reason of cardiovascular mortality. In spite of the fact that electrocardography(ECG) has a limited effect on the diagnosis and determination of the prognosis of PE, it is an essential method for clinically differentiating PE from other diseases that might be confused with PE, such as myocardial infarction(MI) .The aim of this case report presentation is to discuss whether this stuation might be a marker on determination of the prognosis.and the fact that PE could mimic the ECG findings of ST elevation myocardial infarction even though it is rare. Fifty six years old patient with acute renal failure and disorder of liver dysfunction, who had been treating in intensive care unit of internal medicine department, complained about chest pain and shortness of breath occuring on second day of his admission to the hospital. The patient was taken from cardiology department with anteroseptal MI prediagnosis after evaulation of the ECG demonstrating about 4 mm ST elevation in V1-V4 precordial derivations. Coronary angiography was performed to the patient being thought to whom primary percutaneous coronary intervention might be neccessary and there was not any lesion determined in epicardial coronary arteries. The parameters obtained from transthoracic echocardiographic evaulation of the patient was corcordant with the diagnosis of PE. It was understood from the imaging reports performed previously that trombus in vena cava inferior had been detected. The patient had cardiac arrest and died while he was being prepared for the pulmonary embolectomy operation after diagnosing of PE. The aspect which made our case report more attractive is that there were only various case reports published about PE in literature, which indicateST elevationmimicing anterior myocardial infartion. It is thought that this situation might be observed in PE and might guide for determination of the prognosis as well when this case report is evaulated together with the other ones.
