Abstract 

We present a case of a 55-year-old-man with acute coronary syndrome due to occlusion of the right coronary artery. Electrocardiogram showed ST-segment elevation in nine leads. We explain the causes of this exceptional electrocardiographic pattern.

Keywords: Electrocardiogram, Acute coronary syndrome, ST-segment elevation
