Diffuse Subendocardial Ischemia on the ECG. Left main? 3-vessel disease? No!

Dr. Smith's ECG Blog

The patient was transported to the CCU for further medical optimization where a pulmonary artery catheter was placed. In cardiogenic shock, fluid may worsen the pulmonary edema associated with acute heart failure, but may still be required to support the hemodynamic status of the patient.

Association of pulmonary hypertension with the outcome in patients undergoing edge-to-edge mitral valve repair

Heart BMJ

Objectives The association of pulmonary hypertension (PH) with the outcome after mitral transcatheter edge-to-edge repair (M-TEER) focusing on the new ESC/ERS guidelines definition for PH. Methods 449 consecutive M-TEER-treated patients from December 2009 to February 2015 were included in this retrospective analysis. p<0.001).

Large Transmural STEMI with Myocardial "Rupture" of Ventricular Septum

Dr. Smith's ECG Blog

Rupture can be either free wall rupture (causing tamonade) or septal rupture, causing ventricular septal defect with left to right flow and resulting pulmonary edema and shock. Apr 28, 2009.
