Patient is informed of her husband's death: is it OMI or it stress cardiomyopathy?

Dr. Smith's ECG Blog

Within ten minutes, she developed bradycardia, hypotension, and ST changes on monitor. If this were OMI, I would favor proximal RCA culprit (since that commonly produces inferolateral changes and occasionally produces anterior HATW from RV infarct ), but LAD is also possible. Bradycardia and heart block are very common in RCA OMI.
