How cardiogenic shock in NSTEMI is different from STEMI?

Dr. S. Venkatesan MD

Cardiogenic shock (CS)is the most feared event following STEMI. This can be simply a equivalent of HT, with no true supply side ischemia with LVF with global ST depression ) Management *More or less similar to STEMI with aggressive opening of culprit lesions with few differences. 2022 Jun 20;11(12):3558.

Why the sudden shock after a few days of malaise?

Dr. Smith's ECG Blog

The VSR is what is causing the cardiogenic shock! Mechanical complications occur acutely and significantly alter hemodynamics leading to comp ensatory mechanism which usually involve vasoconstriction and tachycardia, both hallmarks of cardiogenic shock. PIRP is strongly associated with myocardial rupture.

See this "NSTEMI" go unrecognized for what it really is, how it progresses, and what happens

Dr. Smith's ECG Blog

The baseline ECG is basically normal with no ischemia. You can see in the lead-specific analysis that she "sees" the STD in V5, V5, and II, with STE in aVR as signs of "Not OMI", because subendocardial ischemia pattern is not the same as OMI. In my opinion, I think it looks more like subendocardial ischemia.

90 year old with acute chest and epigastric pain, and diffuse ST depression with reciprocal STE in aVR: activate the cath lab?

Dr. Smith's ECG Blog

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. Anything more on history?

What is the infarct artery? What does the post PCI ECG show? What does the convalescent ECG show?

Dr. Smith's ECG Blog

All of this appears to be consistent with "No Reflow", or small vessel occlusion with persistent ischemia in spite of an open artery. His included cardiogenic shock, V Tach, AV block. --There is persistent ST elevation in leads V1-V4, with a lot of STE in V4 (another bad sign). Such large infarcts have many complications.

What are treatment options for this rhythm, when all else fails?

Dr. Smith's ECG Blog

The patient in today’s case presented in cardiogenic shock from proximal LAD occlusion, in conjunction with a subtotally stenosed LMCA. There is no definite evidence of acute ischemia. (ie, Simply stated — t he patient was having recurrent PMVT without Q Tc prolongation, and without evidence of ongoing transmural ischemia. (
