ECG Cases 56 – Art of Occlusion MI Part 4: Sequence Photos
In this month's ECG Cases Dr. McLaren explores how sequence photos help identify Occlusion MI. He illustrates through cases how hyperacute T waves and subtle ST elevation with reciprocal ST depression can provide an early snapshot of occlusion MI – and might remain the only sign of occlusion. How resolution of ischemic symptoms along with regional T wave inversion (or reciprocally tall anterior T waves) can indicate spontaneous reperfusion, while subacute and persisting symptoms with Q waves and T wave inversion indicate refractory occlusion. And how spontaneous reperfusion is at risk for reocclusion, with recurrence of ischemic symptoms accompanied by ST/T pseudonormalization and then hyperacute T waves and ST elevation.
Ep 204 High Risk Pulmonary Embolism Management
There are many nuances in the management of patients with pulmonary embolism in cardiac arrest, peri-arrest or simply in shock: We need to optimize oxygenation and airway management, hemodynamic support, acid/base management, thrombolysis and/or catheter-directed therapies that Anton dives into with guest experts Dr. Lauren Westafer, Dr. Bourke Tillmann and Dr. Justin Morgenstern...

ECG Cases 55 The Art of Occlusion MI Part 3 – Impression
In this ECG Cases blog Dr. Jesse McLaren guides us through 6 illustrative cases delving into overall impression in identifying occlusion MI. He discusses how using multiple OMI findings such as acute Q wave, subtle STE, reciprocal STD, hyperacute T waves, and reciprocal TWI to contribute to your overall impression, can double the sensitivity of STEMI criteria for acute coronary occlusion...
