Abstract

Undiagnosed myocardial infarction of the right ventricle presented as Dressler's syndrome. Radioisotopic diagnostic procedures including first-pass and multigated acquisition nuclear angiography (MUGA) and thallium-201 perfusion studies enabled a retroactive diagnosis of myocardial infarction, showed it to be in the right ventricle, and clarified the aetiology of the unexplained fever and pleuropericarditis.
