ABSTRACT
We report a case of ST segment elevation in left precordial leads with a convex shape caused by a rare etiology. By carefully analyzing the electrocardiogram (leads I, II, V3 to V9) of a patient with convex ST segment elevation in the left-sided chest leads, relevant etiological clues were derived. The findings were further supported by cardiac ultrasound and cardiac magnetic resonance imaging, ruling out other common causes. Arrhythmogenic Right Ventricular Cardiomyopathy (ARVC) was postulated as the underlying cause, and potential mechanisms were discussed. The diagnosis was further confirmed through a follow-up period of over three years.
