Although clinical presentation of acute coronary syndrome (ACS) varies significantly, investigation to confirm the underlying cause of the symptoms can often reveal unusual causes of ACS, or indeed alternative diagnoses which initially present as ACS. As part of the ACS Forum in December 2020, CORONARY CONNECT member Dr. Miklos Rohla reviewed an unusual patient case study which presented initially as ACS.

View this case study discussion and download the accompanying slides for more information. Please note: the slide deck contains video footage that plays automatically in presentation mode. This educational presentation is relevant for cardiologists, including interventional cardiologists, as well as emergency room physicians.

To continue your ACS Forum educational journey, follow the link above to view the complete on-demand video recording of the event. At this link, you can also access the accredited e-learning designed around the ACS Forum programme.

The ACS Forum is a medical educational programme supported by an Independent Educational Grant from Amgen.

Dr Rohla is currently completing his specialist training in cardiology at the 3rd Medical Department for Cardiology and Intensive Care Medicine, Klinik Ottakring (formerly Wilhelminenhospital) in Vienna, Austria. His research is focused around the medical and invasive treatment of acute coronary syndromes, antithrombotic therapies in patients with coronary artery disease or atrial fibrillation, and control of risk factors such as hypertension or hyperlipidaemia. Main clinical areas of interest are interventional cardiology and intensive care medicine.  

Dr Miklos Rohla has received financial support/sponsorship for research support, consultation, or speaker fees from the following companies:

Sanofi Aventis.
