# Cardio‐Invasive Metastatic Squamous Cell Carcinoma of the Lung Masquerading as Acute ST Elevation Myocardial Infarction

## TL;DR

A lung cancer case was mistaken for a heart attack due to similar symptoms and ECG findings.

## Contribution

Highlights a rare case of lung cancer mimicking acute myocardial infarction.

## Key findings

- Patient presented with chest pain and ST elevation, leading to primary PCI.
- Cardiac imaging identified a cardio-invasive lung malignancy.
- Persistent symptoms indicated a misdiagnosis of acute myocardial infarction.

## Abstract

The incidence of secondary cardiac malignancies is on the rise due to the aging population. A 63‐year‐old male presented with recurrent chest pain and anterior ST elevations on ECG, leading to primary PCI, but continued to experience chest pain and persistent ST elevation. Cardiac imaging revealed a cardio‐invasive lung malignancy.
