Abstract

Key Clinical Message: Situs inversus totalis is a rare diagnosis, but the likelihood of experiencing myocardial infarction is presumed to be comparable to the general population average. In individuals exhibiting situs inversus with suspected myocardial infarction, ECG recording, including right precordial leads, is crucial for diagnostic assessment. Coronary angiography and intervention should be performed with standard equipment using inverted maneuvers and radiographic projections. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
