- Abstract
Acute chest pain is usually expressed in typical language; which is sometimes assigned a particular sign. One of the signs is that of Levine, usually translating a coronary involvement. This clinical case highlights a patient who is admitted for chest pain with Levine's sign and a non-contributory electrocardiogram. Biological and coronarographic explorations carried out for this purpose revealed occlusion of the proximal right coronary artery by thrombosis, successfully revascularized. This observation highlights the place of the interrogation in the assessment of any patient.
