Despite apparently hearing the above history together with two diagnostic ECGs and a troponin compatible with OMI, the cardiologist thought the ECG represented pericarditis and recommended echocardiogram. Echocardiogram was finally performed five hours after the first diagnostic ECG. This far out, the benefit of PCI is very attenuated.

Long term outcome is not available. == MY Comment, by K EN G RAUER, MD ( 2/1/2025 ): == We need to learn from cases like today's. Total proximal LAD occlusion was found and stented at angiography soon after the ECG above. Here are some images: Next morning ECG: Reperfusion findings are clear.

Echocardiogram showed inferior hypokinesis. As you can see, the lesion is not very angiographically impressive , more on this below. Nevertheless, the operator performed intravascular ultrasound and saw erupted calcium nodule consistent with plaque erosion. Troponin was rising when last checked, 8928 ng/L.

More troponin values were measured at the cardiac center: 2327- 267 ng/L 0821- 355 ng/L 1108- 305 ng/L An echocardiogram on day three of the patients admission showed an ejection fraction of 46% with abnormal basal inferior and basal lateral segments, and severe aortic stenosis.

In this study of consecutive patients with LBBB who were hospitalized and had an echocardiogram, a QRS duration less than 170 ms (n = 262), vs. greater than 170 ms (n = 38), was associated with a significantly better ejection fraction (36% vs. 24%). So indeed the QRS is approximately 200 ms. Comment: What is the normal QRS duration in LBBB?

It is reasonable to perform an echocardiogram to evaluate LV function. Catheter ablation or flecainide should be considered in symptomatic patients with idiopathic VT/PVCs from an origin other than the RVOT or the left fascicles. [ 1 ] Considerations Regarding Use of Flecainide: A 12-lead ECG is mandatory before starting therapy.

An echocardiogram at 13:40 showed: Severely reduced global systolic function with an estimated EF of 10-20% Mildly increased LV size Akinesis of the entire septum and apex Hypokinesis of the anterior, anterolateral, and mid posterior segments A final troponin T was drawn at 17:23- 3,475 ng/L.
