This EKG is diagnostic of transmural ischemia of the inferior wall. 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). Annals of Emergency Medicine 2011; Suppl 58(4): S211.
That said there were no clinical symptoms or ECG findings suggestive of ongoing ischemia. There were no plaques or stenoses. You have given IV MgSO4 a fast acting -blocker and IV amiodarone bolus and infusion. The possibility of an ischemic cause of the ventricular arrhythmia has to be considered!
