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

Dr. Smith's ECG Blog

Smith comment: This patient did not have a bedside ultrasound. Had one been done, it would have shown a feature that is apparent on this ultrasound (however, this patient's LV function would not be as good as in this clip): This is recorded with the LV on the right. In fact, bedside ultrasound might even find severe aortic stenosis.

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. If detected early by ultrasound, the patient can be saved. Apr 28, 2009. 3) Oliva et al. (3) J Am Coll Cardiol 53(17):1503-9.

A young lady with wide complex tachycardia. My first time actually making this diagnosis de novo in real life in the ED!

Dr. Smith's ECG Blog

My bedside ultrasound was of insufficient quality, but showed somewhat reduced overall EF, distended IVC without respiratory variation, no pericardial effusion, and diffuse bilateral B lines. == What do you think of her ECG? CXR confirmed bilateral pulmonary edema and bilateral small effusions. J Electrocardiol, 42 (2009), pp.
