2013 Bradycardia STEMI

Looking first at the long-lead II rhythm strip — there is significant bradycardia , with a heart R ate just under 40/minute. But the point to emphasize — is that it should only take seconds to recognize that there is bradycardia from significant AV block. = Would you approve her for a nonemergent surgical procedure?

The Initial ECG in Today's Case: ECG #1 showed sinus bradycardia at a rate slightly under 60/minute — normal intervals — slight left axis ( about -15 degrees ) — and no chamber enlargement. Figure-1: I've labeled the 1st, 2nd and 4th tracings in today's case ( See text ).

If it is STEMI, it would have to be RBBB with STEMI. Bradycardia. But — one of the causes of Brugada Phenocopy is acute infarction — so I didn’t know how to distinguish between a preexisting Brugada-1 ECG pattern vs a Brugada ECG pattern developing as a result of acute ongoing anterior STEMI. Is it Brugada pattern?

Despite the clinical context, Cardiology was consulted due to concerns for a "STEMI". Hyperkalemia causes peaked T waves and the "killer B's of hyperkalemia", including bradycardia, broad QRS complexes, blocks of the AV node and bundle branches, Brugada morphology, and otherwise bizarre morphology including sine wave. With a twist.

Whatever today's rhythm turns out to be — the "good news" is that the bradycardia and degree of AV block is likely to improve as soon as there is reperfusion of the "culprit" artery ( Therefore need for prompt cath with PCI ). ECG Blog #218 — Reviews HOW to define a T wave as being H yperacute ?

2) The STE in V1 and V2 has an R'-wave and downsloping ST segments, very atypical for STEMI. Cardiology was consulted and they agreed that the EKG had an atypical morphology for STEMI and did not activate the cath lab. Smith comment: 1) Brugada ECG may have ST shifts in limb leads as well as precordial leads. Bicarb 20, Lactate 4.2,

Within ten minutes, she developed bradycardia, hypotension, and ST changes on monitor. Bradycardia and heart block are very common in RCA OMI. There was indication of parasympathetic overdrive ( the acute inferior STEMI with profound bradycardia and junctional escape ). He told the patient this horrible news. SanzRuiz, R.,
