Acute artery occlusion -- which one?

Dr. Smith's ECG Blog

Answer : Bedside ultrasound! Smith : RV infarct may also have this appearance on ultrasound. So hypoxia without B lines on lung ultrasound strongly weights toward PE. What do you do clinically when the ECG looks like this? How do you emergently triage the patient to cath lab or possibly IR suite for thrombectomy?

Diffuse Subendocardial Ischemia on the ECG. Left main? 3-vessel disease? No!

Dr. Smith's ECG Blog

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. In fact, bedside ultrasound might even find severe aortic stenosis.
