Hopefully a repeat echocardiogram will be performed outpatient. ECG of pneumopericardium and probable myocardial contusion shows typical pericarditis Male in 30's, 2 days after Motor Vehicle Collsion, complains of Chest Pain and Dyspnea Head On Motor Vehicle Collision.

These latter findings are typical of pericarditis, but pericarditis never has reciprocal ST depression. Elevated troponins prompted an echocardiogram — which revealed an apical wall motion abnormality (WMA). Usually with pericarditis and myocarditis — hyperacute T waves (HATW) are not present.

Recall from this post referencing this study that "reciprocal STD in aVL is highly sensitive for inferior OMI (far better than STEMI criteria) and excludes pericarditis, but is not specific for OMI." Her contrast enhanced echocardiogram is shown below in the parasternal short axis view. The patient suffered a large infarct. Worrall, C.,

The patient was thought to have low likelihood of ACS, and cardiology recommended repeat troponin, urine drug testing, and echocardiogram. Bedside echocardiogram showed hypokinesis of the mid to distal anterior wall and apex. Initial hscTnI was 10 ng/L (ref. <14). There was no recommendation for repeat ECG.

An echocardiogram was done. ECG of pneumopericardium and probable myocardial contusion shows typical pericarditis Male in 30's, 2 days after Motor Vehicle Collsion, complains of Chest Pain and Dyspnea Head On Motor Vehicle Collision. Is there also Brugada? Here is the result: The estimated left ventricular ejection fraction is 50 %.

Assessment:" " Nonspecific ST elevation from V1-V4 , question of early repolarization versus pericarditis , question of acute current of injury and ? Pericarditis would be even more unlikely in someone without chest pain. Precordial Swirl in ECG #1: As discussed in the October 15, 2022 post in Dr. Smith's ECG Blog — Drs.

The "flu-like" illness suggests myo- or pericarditis, but that would be a diagnosis of exclusion. While awaiting transfer to the cath lab, STAT echocardiogram was performed and showed LVEF 30-35%, as well as anterior, inferior, and apical hypokinesis, and apical thrombus.
