误诊原因及与急性心肌梗死的鉴别:3例患者都有心肌缺血的症状、ST段抬高或Q波等ECG改变,并且心肌标记物也是升高的,极易误诊为急性心肌梗死。近几年来随着对本病的认识,统计发现该病约占以急性心肌梗死收住院的2%。但前者多见于有应激史的老年女性,心肌标记物仅轻到中度升高峰值多在24 h内,并且与室壁运动异常的程度及ECG提示的病变范围不符合。冠状动脉造影示梗死相关冠脉血流通畅有助于早期确诊。除此之外ECG亦有差异,前者ST段的抬高是暂时性的,胸前导联的ST段抬高的幅度要低于前壁心梗且较少出现对应导联ST 段压低[11],且V4~V6 导联ST 段抬高幅度大于V1~V3 导联,但单纯ECG差异尚不能作为确诊条件。总之,应激性心肌病极易误诊为急性心肌梗死,二者治疗截然不同,作为接诊的临床医师应该提高警惕。尤其是有明显应激因素的老年女性,出现胸前导联ST段抬高、心肌缺血症状,不要急于诊断,如果心肌标志物轻到中度升高与ECG提示的病变范围不符时,要及时行床旁超声心动及冠状动脉造影除外此病。
