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.

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.
