Int J Cardiol 2013 2. We are told that the Stress Echo that was performed showed objective evidence of inducible ischemia ( confirmed apparently by both wall motion abnormalities and ECG changes ). Was this objective evidence of inducible ischemia accompanied by chest pain? Backus BE, Six AJ, Kelder JC, et al.

Post by Smith and Meyers Sam Ghali ( [link] ) just asked me (Smith): "Steve, do left main coronary artery *occlusions* (actual ones with transmural ischemia) have ST Depression or ST Elevation in aVR?" That said, complete LM occlusion would be expected to have subepicardial ischemia (STE) in these myocardial territories: STE vector 1.

mg reduced the risk of cardiovascular death, MI or heart attack, ischemic stroke, or ischemia-driven coronary revascularization by 31% compared with placebo.34 The benefit was most significant in reducing the incidence of stroke and angina requiring revascularization.35 2013;368(21):2004-2013.

Ischemic ST-segment depression maximal in V1-V4 (versus V5-V6) of any amplitude is specific for Occlusion Myocardial Infarction (versus nonocclusive ischemia). Arch Cardiovasc Dis 2013 Khan AR et al. But others are not as fortunate, so we should learn from these near misses to better identify signs of occlusion and reperfusion.

Denying patients the potential benefit of revascularization just because their symptoms have lasted a certain amount of time shows poor understanding of the pathophysiology of myocardial ischemia. There were no other causes of dyspnea apparent and thus we can assume that myocardial ischemia started 6 days prior. link] [2] Oliva, P.
