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....
In this ECG Cases blog we look at 8 patients with potentially ischemic symptoms, none of whom had STEMI on the 12 lead ECG. Which had occlusion MI?...
In this ECG Cases blog we look at seven patients with potentially ischemic symptoms and subtle ECG changes in the lateral leads. Which had acute coronary occlusion? Introducing the concept of Occlusion MI - a paradigm shift in ECG diagnosis of MI...
