2013 Myocardial Infarction STEMI

Cardiogenic shock (CS)is the most feared event following STEMI. We tend to perceive CS as an exclusive complication of STEMI. The incidence is half of that of STEMI, i.e., 2.5-5%. might show little elevation with considerable overlap of left main STEMI vs NSTEMI ) 2.Onset ACS pathophysiology is not that simple.

Code STEMI was activated by the ED physician based on the diagnostic ECG for LAD OMI in ventricular paced rhythm. This was several months after the 2022 ACC Guidelines adding modified Sgarbossa criteria as a STEMI equivalent in ventricular paced rhythm). LAFB, atrial flutter, anterolateral STEMI(+) OMI.

associated typical Myocardial Infarction therapies such as statins and ACE inhibitors with significantly decreased 1 year mortality in MINOCA patients, which suggests that they do indeed have a similar pathophysiology to MI patients with obstructive coronary disease. MINOCA I do not have the bandwidth here to write a review of MINOCA.

The precordial ST-depression pattern on this ECG (and in this clinical setting) should immediately raise suspicion of Posterior STEMI! Posterior STEMI occurs in approximately 15-20% of acute MI, but the vast majority of the time it is seen in conjunction with inferior (Infero-Posterior) or lateral (Postero-Lateral) STEMI (1).

His ECG was repeated at this point: This shows a well developed anterior STEMI. To not see these findings is very common, and this patient would be given the diagnosis of NonSTEMI, with subsequent development of STEMI. It is not a missed STEMI, but it is a missed coronary occlusion. The peak troponin I was over 100.

When total LM occlusion does present with STE in aVR, there is ALWAYS ST Elevation elsewhere which makes STEMI obvious; in other words, STE is never limited to only aVR but instead it is part of a massive and usually obvious STEMI. All are, however, clearly massive STEMI. This is her ECG: An obvious STEMI, but which artery?

One of our fine interns, Daniel Lee, who is also an ECG whiz, found this paper from 2013 and brought it to my attention: The delayed activation wave in non-ST-elevation myocardial infarction. When present, the infarct artery is more likely to be the circumflex. Of all inferior STEMI, 85% are due to RCA.
