2018 Bradycardia STEMI

Looking first at the long-lead II rhythm strip — there is significant bradycardia , with a heart R ate just under 40/minute. But the point to emphasize — is that it should only take seconds to recognize that there is bradycardia from significant AV block. = Would you approve her for a nonemergent surgical procedure?

Here is his ED ECG: There is bradycardia with a junctional escape. There is an obvious inferior posterior STEMI(+) OMI. Case continued A bedside ultrasound showed diminished LV EF and of course bradycardia. Results Of 149 patients with inferior STEMI , 43 (29%) had RVMI and 106 (71%) did not. What is the atrial activity?

Despite the clinical context, Cardiology was consulted due to concerns for a "STEMI". Hyperkalemia causes peaked T waves and the "killer B's of hyperkalemia", including bradycardia, broad QRS complexes, blocks of the AV node and bundle branches, Brugada morphology, and otherwise bizarre morphology including sine wave. With a twist.

My Thoughts on the Initial ECG: Systematic interpretation of ECG #1 shows: Sinus bradycardia at ~55-60/minute — normal intervals ( PR-QRS-QTc ) — normal frontal plane axis ( about +20 degrees ) — no chamber enlargement. At this point — I learned a bit more about today's patient: The patient is a man who had an inferior STEMI in 2010.

If it is STEMI, it would have to be RBBB with STEMI. Excerpted from Vutthikraivit et al: Acta Cardiol Sin 34:267-277, 2018 ). == Distinction is made between 2 types of Brugada ECG patterns: A B rugada - 1 ECG pattern — shows ≥2 mm coved ST elevation with sharp downslope plus T wave inversion in ≥2 anterior leads. Bradycardia.

These kinds of cases were excluded from the study as obvious anterior STEMI. --QTc Am J Cardiol 2018; 122(8):1303-1309. Case 1 Acute anterior STEMI from LAD occlusion, or Benign Early Repolarization (BER)? Appropriately, the physicians repeated the ECG 20 minutes later and it was diagnostic of anterior STEMI.

A prehospital ECG was recorded (not shown and not seen by me) which was worrisome for STEMI. A previous ECG from 4 years prior was normal: This looks like an anterior STEMI, but it is complicated by tachycardia (which can greatly elevate ST segments) and by the presentation which is of fever and sepsis.
