Main Article Content
Abstract
We present a rare case of pseudo myocardial infarction in a patient with diabetic ketoacidosis (DKA) and discuss the diagnostic challenges, management, and implications for clinical practice. This case highlights the importance of considering alternative diagnoses in patients presenting with chest pain and elevated cardiac biomarkers, especially in the context of metabolic derangements such as DKA.
