However, whether immediate blood glucose and FIB levels affect coronary blood flow during primary percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) remains unclear.ObjectiveTo explore the correlation between admission blood glucose (ABG), fibrinogen (FIB) and slow blood flow during primary PCI for acute ST segment elevation myocardialinfarction (STEMI).MethodsA
Introduction Elevated peak cardiac troponin levels have been linked with increased morbidity and mortality in patients with acute myocardialinfarction (AMI). We hypothesize that patients with higher IPF levels during AMI, will experience a more severe infarct, leading to elevated peak troponin levels.
Background:Type 2 myocardialinfarction (T2MI) and type 1 myocardialinfarction (T1MI) differ with respect to demographics, comorbidities, treatments, and clinical outcomes. This could facilitate more accurate longitudinal assessments of acute myocardialinfarction quality and outcomes. T1MI and 53.5%

Methods We analyzed a cohort of patients admitted for ACS between February 2017 and February 2018. Aim The aim of this study was to determine the best clinical predictors of acute heart failure needing mechanical ventilation (MV) in the first 48 h of evolution of patients admitted because of acute coronary syndrome (ACS).

(Unusual and puzzling, as there was a large focal acute MI) Final Diagnosis: Acute MI, Non ST Elevation MyocardialInfarction. The presence or absence of ST Elevation is a poor marker with which to describe a myocardialinfarction. = NSTEMI is extremely heterogenous, from a very tiny Non-OMI to a massive OMI.
By Magnus Nossen, edits by Grauer and Smith The patient is a 70-something female with DMII, HTN and an extensive prior history of coronary artery disease and myocardialinfarctions. As I illustrated in detail in My Comment of the October 3, 2018 post of Dr. Smith's ECG Blog — I favor a qualitative approach based on shape.
Meyers, Weingart and Smith published their OMI Manifesto — in which they extensively document the critically important concept that management of acute MI by separation into a “STEMI” vs “non-STEMI” classification is an irreversibly flawed approach.

Smith, MD – Department of Emergency Medicine, Hennepin County Medical Center, Professor, University of Minnesota School of Medicine, Minneapolis, MN ABSTRACT: Background: Patients with type 1 myocardialinfarction with normal left ventricular function that are hemodynamically stable do not usually manifest with sinus tachycardia.
This is obviously diagnostic of inferior and lateral Occlusion MyocardialInfarction. The location of the infarct is clear, but that does not necessarily tell you what artery it is. Electrocardiographic diagnosis of acute coronary Occlusion MyocardialInfarction in ventricular paced rhythm using the modified Sgarbossa criteria.
Although not striking, this is clearly a diagnostic ECG for infero"posterior" myocardialinfarction due to coronary occlusion (OMI), most likely due to left circumflex (LCx) artery occlusion. mm STE even in the fourth universal definition of myocardialinfarction. Considerations on the naming of myocardialinfarctions.
Comment by KEN GRAUER, MD ( 7/11/2018 ): = Insightful blog post by Dr. Smith regarding ECG criteria for recognizing acute RV involvement in patients with inferior STEMI. The “bottom line” conclusions of their case report were that transient J waves may on occasion be induced by an acute injury current from impending myocardialinfarction.
Here is the ED ECG on arrival: Less STE/STD Provider's Clinical Impression: "findings concerning for myocardialinfarction, likely proximal LAD or Left main." EMS gave 324 mg aspirin and 3 sublingual NTG, which the patient stated reduced the substernal chest pain from an 8/10 to 4/10. NTG drip started. Pain better still.
This is diagnostic of myocardialinfarction. In middle age women, it accounts for 22-35% of all ACS presentations 1,3 , and the reported incidence of ST-elevation myocardialinfarction in this subset of patients is variable, but estimated to be between 24-50% 4. She felt more comfortable being admitted. Int J Cardiol.

Shark Fin morphology has been discussed a number of times on Dr. Smith’s ECG Blog ( For review — See the June 11, 2018 post and the January 24, 2020 post , to name just 2 instances ). I believe the latter (type II STEMI) is most likely.

He was found diaphoretic and uncomfortable, and verbalizing a prior history of myocardialinfarction and that, furthermore, the acute symptoms were identical to that which had been associated with RCA stent placement 4 years prior. Terminal QRS distortion is present in anterior myocardialinfarction but absent in early repolarization.

ng/ml , a three-fold increase from troponin #2, also confirming acute myocardialinfarction. This confirms that there were dynamic signs of ischemia on the initial ECG. It was not normal! A third troponin I returned at 0.27 Epilogue : Angiography, however, did not reveal significant obstruction of the RCA, LAD, or circumflex.

This was not a myocardialinfarction of any kind. Possible inferior and infero-lateral WMA are new The next AM, the K had come up to 2.3 mEq/L: It is normalizing Troponins reached a peak of 42 ng/L (URL = 34 ng/L). Learning Points: 1. When the EKG looks bizarre, think about pulse tapping artifact 2.
