N2  - A 30-year-old man suffered a cardiac arrest after setting fire to his home. Continuous ST segment electrocardiographic monitoring in the Coronary Care Unit detected painless ST segment depression during an interview with a police officer. At angiography, the patient proved to have severe three-vessel coronary artery disease. This case demonstrates the clinical value of continuous ST segment monitoring in the ICU. In addition, the case illustrates that mental stress is a potential trigger for acute myocardial ischemia in the ICU.<p /> <p>Language: en</p>
