Troponin T peaked at 38,398 ng/L ( = a very large myocardial infarction, but not massive-- thanks to the pre-PCI spontaneous reperfusion, and rapid internvention!! ). Some residual ischemia in the infarct border might still be present. Over the next couple of days the patient was weaned off of mechanical circulatory support.

WPW, previous Q wave MI, and acute coronary occlusion Depending on the location of the accessory pathway, WPW pattern can mimic ventricular hypertrophy (including RVH or LVH) or myocardial infarction (including anterior, inferior, lateral or posterior MI) [1].
