There may be ischemia present, but it is not evident on the ECG. Journal of Electrocardiology 47 (2014) 655–660. This patient with LVH had chest pain ( Figure 7 ) LVH with ST-T abnormalities with superimposed ischemia. LVH and the diagnosis of STEMI - how should we apply the current guidelines?

These studies mainly concerned anterior circulation occlusions. All patients with a posterior circulation occlusion were included. Our results are in line with the literature on the anterior circulation. Primary outcome was a shift toward better functional outcome on the modified Rankin Scale at 90 days.

DISCUSSION: The 12-lead EKG EMS initially obtained for this patient showed severe ischemia, with profound "infero-lateral" ST depression and reciprocal ST elevation in lead aVR. The ECG cannot diagnose the etiology of ischemia; it only the presence of ischemia, from whatever etiology.

5] Back to the case The patient had serial ECGs over the next hour with no significant change: The first troponin came back at 1,400 ng/L (normal <26 in males and <16 in females), confirming MI – and the patient’s refractory ischemia indicated this was an Occlusion MI.

Circulation: Cardiovascular Interventions , 7(5), 645–655. This proves effective treatment of the recurrent ischemia. The patient had no further symptoms of ischemia. EKG 3 is diagnostic for developing re-occlusion, and EKG 4 proves that the nitrates relieved the ischemia. = Buller, C. Starovoytov, A., Robinson, S.,

2] Here there is no posterior ST elevation, but the anterior ST depression is also less—so it is dynamic, confirming acute ischemia. The absence of STE in V7-V9 is often due to resolution of ischemia, as seen by resolution of ST depression in V7-V9. non-occlusive ischemia) JAHA 2021 3. -- Meyers HP, Bracey A, Lee D, et al.
