Pseudo-myocardial infarction during an episode of herpes zoster
The patient arrived at the emergency unit with a history of acute myocardial infarction, for which she was treated. Without improvement in the pain, the patient developed heart failure and underwent a hemodynamic study, which showed normal coronary arteries and extensive ventricular impairment. During evolution, the clinical findings improved and herpes zoster appeared on the right shoulder. In a few months the clinical findings subsided, and the findings of the electrocardiogram, chest X-ray, and ventricular function were normal. The patient is currently asymptomatic.
