Abstract:
:History A 47-year-old Sudanese man without a known remarkable medical history presented to the emergency department for a syncopal episode. The patient denied chest pain, dyspnea, focal weakness, or prior similar episodes. He was originally from north Sudan and eventually moved to Saudi Arabia, where he worked as a farm manager before emigrating to the United States years ago. Physical examination findings and routine laboratory values, including complete blood count and basic metabolic panels, were normal. Electrocardiography revealed nonspecific T-wave inversions, and a series of cardiac biomarkers were negative. A contrast material-enhanced CT angiography pulmonary embolism protocol and cardiac MRI were performed for further evaluation (Figs 1-4).
