Dr. Smith's ECG Blog

CTA head and neck were obtained and showed no evidence of intracranial hemorrhage, large vessel occlusion stroke (what a helpful and apt name for an acute arterial occlusion paradigm, by the way.), or basilar ischemia. Preliminary findings documented in the cath lab were “Anterior STEMI and no significant coronary artery disease.” (!!!)
