This report describes a 63-year-old male with a history of hypertension, tobacco usage, and hypercholesteremia, who was recently admitted with new onset atrial fibrillation. He had new onset left ventricular (LV) dysfunction on echocardiography, and a subsequent cardiac cath demonstrated a high-grade stenosis in the mid right coronary artery (RCA) with calcification. Initial revascularization was deferred until further work up for lung mass. He had a PET scan that was negative, and was staged for intervention the following week; however, he came in with chest pain and therefore, revascularization was performed.
