A CTCA provides much more anatomical detail and can identify advanced plaque often missed by CT Coronary Artery Calcium Score scans alone. CT Coronary Artery Calcium Score Scan CT Coronary Artery Calcium Score CT CoronaryAngiogram As you can see from the above images, the CTCA provides far more anatomical detail.
Finally, do a coronaryangiogram Possible alternative to pacing is to give a beta-1 agonist to increase heart rate. Applying my method to the March 19, 2019 case that I show in Figure-1 the rhythm in this Figure-1 ECG is regular, with an R-R interval just under 4 large boxes. Dobutamine is an acceptable alternative.
His response: “subendocardial ischemia. Smith : It should be noted that, in subendocardial ischemia, in contrast to OMI, absence of wall motion abnormality is common. With the history of Afib, CTA abdomen was ordered to r/o mesenteric ischemia vs ischemic colitis vs small bowel obstruction. Am J Med 2019, 132(5):622-630.
When “spot diagnosing” precordial ST-depression I instinctively evaluate aVR for any corresponding ST-elevation to see if an emerging pattern of broad subendocardial ischemia can be appreciated, in which the ST-depression should be otherwise global and demonstrably maximal in Leads II and V5. ST-elevation, etc.) is present. 1] Driver, B.
There is broad subendocardial ischemia as demonstrated by STE aVR with concomitant STD that almost appears appropriately maximal in Leads II and V5. There is LBBB-like morphology with persistent patterns of subendocardial ischemia. This worried the crew of potential acute coronary syndrome and STEMI was activated pre-hospital.
Post cath ECG: Now there are hyperacute T-waves again, and recurrent ST depression in V2 This ECG would normally diagnostic of OMI until proven otherwise No further troponins were measured, but it looks like there is recurrent OMI Next day: A CT CoronaryAngiogram was done (CTCA) CARDIAC MORPHOLOGY AND FUNCTION: 1. IMPRESSION: 1.
