In this ECG Cases we review 10 patients who presented with bradycardia, introduce an approach to reversible causes using the BRADI mnemonic and guide you through how to use the ECG to guide management...
In this ECG Cases blog Jesse McLaren review an approach to tachycardia, explore the WIDER mnemonic for wide SVT differential diagnosis, and how to distinguish VT from SVT with 10 cases...
In this ECG Cases blog we look at 10 patients who presented with potentially ischemic symptoms and ST depression. Which had occlusion MI?
In this ECG Cases blog we look at 10 patients who presented with ST elevation, and review the differential diagnosis of ST elevation using the ELEVATIONS mnemonic. Which had occlusion MI?
In this ECG Cases blog we examine 6 patients who presented with poor R wave progression, and the LATE mnemonic for the differential...
8 patients presented with ECGs showing a tall R wave in V1. What was the diagnosis? Jesse MacLaren reviews ECG interpretation of a tall R wave in V1 in this month's ECG Cases...
9 patients presented with potentially ischemic symptoms and Q-waves. Which had Occlusion MI? What is the differential diagnosis of Q-waves? How can one distinguish MI vs LV aneurysm on ECG?...
LVH produces secondary repolarization abnormalities that can mimic STEMI. Signs of occlusion MI in patients with LVH include: new Q waves/loss of R waves, disproportionate and dynamic ST elevation (or ST depression from posterior MI), and hyperacute T waves. In this ECG Cases blog we look at 6 patients who presented with potentially ischemic symptoms and LVH on their ECG. Which had an acute coronary occlusion?
In this ECG Cases blog we look at 7 patients with RBBB and potentially ischemic symptoms. Which had RBBB and occlusion MI?...
In ECG Cases 11 - LBBB + Occlusion MI Jesse McLaren runs through 5 patients who present with potentially ischemic symptoms and LBBB and explains the evolution of decision making for cath lab activation criteria. The two most important points are that we should always use the Smith-modified Sgarbossa Criteria to identify occlusion MI in the patient with ischemic symptoms and LBBB, whether old or new, and that those with refractory ischemia and hemodynamic instability from suspected occlusion MI require cath lab activation regardless of the ECG....
