Thus, this is both an anterior and inferior STEMI. How old is this antero-inferior STEMI? Although acute anterior STEMI frequently has narrow QR-waves within one hour of onset (1. Armstrong et al.)], the presence of such well developed anterior Q-wave suggests completed transmural STEMI. Apr 28, 2009.
Thus, this is BOTH an anterior and inferior STEMI in the setting of RBBB. How old is this antero-inferior STEMI? Although acute anterior STEMI frequently has narrow QR-waves within one hour of onset (1. the presence of such well developed, wide, anterior Q-wave suggests completed transmural STEMI. Apr 28, 2009.
Precordial ST depression may be subendocardial ischemia or posterior STEMI. If you thought it might be a posterior STEMI, then you might have ordered a posterior ECG [change leads V4-V6 around to the back (V7-V9)]. So there was 3-vessel disease, but with an acute posterior STEMI. Blackwell Publishing 2009.
A rapid echocardiogram was performed, revealing an ejection fraction of 20% with thinning of the anterior-apical walls. As per Dr. Aslanger — a number of medical providers were initial confused by what initially appears as marked ST elevation with reciprocal ST depression, indicative of an acute STEMI. That was also my initial concern.
Clinical Course The paramedic activated a “Code STEMI” alert and transported the patient nearly 50 miles to the closest tertiary medical center. A transthoracic echocardiogram showed an LV EF of less than 15%, critically severe aortic stenosis , severe LVH , and a small LV cavity. NEJM 362(9):779; March 4, 2009. What do you see?
