The scan also showed “scattered coronary artery plaques”. __ Smith comment 1 : the appropriate management at this point is to lower the blood pressure (lower afterload, which increases myocardial oxygen demand). The patient was put on a nitroglycerin drip and his pain improved with his blood pressure. Murakami MM.

This includes diet, physical activity, nicotine exposure, sleep duration, body mass index, blood lipids, blood glucose, and blood pressure levels. Hospital records were reviewed and incident MACE, defined as the composite of incident stroke, myocardial infarction, or heart failure, was adjudicated using standard criteria.

The initial blood pressure was 80/palp with a heart rate of 104, respirations 20, oxygen saturations of 94% and a finger stick blood glucose of 268. In addition, the patient received 750 mL of fluid resuscitation with transient improvement of blood pressure.

Immediately after contrast injection into the LMCA, the patient had circulatory collapse, with a precipitous drop in blood pressure. An Impella device was placed to maintain cardiac output and perfusion pressures. You can see Left Main and Proximal LAD obstruction, but with some flow, which is saving this patient's life.
