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 month's EM Quick Hits podcast: Anand Swaminathan on lateral canthotomy, Emily Austin on pediatric cannabis poisoning, Reuben Strayer on an approach to hyperthermia, Brit Long on diagnosis and management of malignant otitis externa, Jesse McLaren on ECG diagnosis of occlusion MI in patients with BBB and Peter Brindley on prone CPR...
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?...
