Smith comment: This patient did not have a bedside ultrasound. Had one been done, it would have shown a feature that is apparent on this ultrasound (however, this patient's LV function would not be as good as in this clip): This is recorded with the LV on the right. Aortic angiogram did not reveal aortic dissection.

We investigated the incidence of an acutely occluded coronary in patients presenting with STE-aVR with multi-lead ST depression. Methods STEMI activations between January 2014 and April 2018 at the University of Arizona Medical Center were identified. A emergent cardiology consult can be helpful for equivocal cases.

Angiogram Door to balloon time was 120 minutes (much too long) because of time taken for a CT. Coronary angiogram showed 100% mid LAD occlusion for which she received a DES with excellent angiographic result. It was not SCAD (coronary dissection) Highest troponin I was 37,000 ng/L, but it was not measured to peak.
