We present a case report of a 70 year-old female patient admitted to our medical department for acute renal failure with ECG evidence of acute Q wave myocardial infarction, positive cardiospecific enzymes, and an echocardiography image of regional hypokinesis imitating acute myocardial infarction, but clinically silent. Acute myocarditis was diagnosed to be a cause of the patient's condition. Renal failure developed due to renal hypoperfusion following hemodynamic changes caused by myocarditis and dehydration. The goal of this case report is to show an unusual manifestation of acute myocarditis imitating acute myocardial infarction.
