This study compares outcomes in AF patients with GIB on AC alone to those on combination AP and AC therapy, as part of a larger prospective study from 2013 to 2023. Patients in the combination AP +AC therapy group had a higher prevalence of CAD, myocardial infarction, and coronary/vascular stent placement compared to the AC monotherapy group.

At the bottom of the post, I have re-printed the section on aVR in my article on the ECG in ACS from the Canadian Journal of Cardiology: New Insights Into the Use of the 12-Lead Electrocardiogram for Diagnosing Acute Myocardial Infarction in the Emergency Department Case 1.

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. A 100% occlusion on of the circumflex, proximal to the first obtuse marginal, was found, opened, and stented.

In the STEMI/NSTEMI dichotomy, NSTEMI is supposed to mean non-occlusive myocardial infarction, but this patient had transient Occlusion MI that was at risk for re-occlusion (like ‘transient STEMI’). Notice also that there is new T-wave inversion in III with upright T-wave in aVL, confirming inferior infarction.

He reported a history of ischemic cardiomyopathy with coronary stent placement approximately 10 years prior, but could not recall the specific artery involved. A 99% LAD occlusion was stented. Terminal QRS distortion is present in anterior myocardial infarction but absent in early repolarization. 2] Surawicz, B.

LAD and D1 were stented, but flow unfortunately could not be well restored despite efforts (they list the post intervention TIMI flow still as 0). Serial tracings following stent placement confirmed the large extent of myocardial injury. LCX and RCA were described as "normal" in the cath report.
