The patient in today’s case presented in cardiogenic shock from proximal LAD occlusion, in conjunction with a subtotally stenosed LMCA. Distinction of PMVT vs VFib is an academic one in this case ). LAD — 100% proximal occlusion; with 70-89% mid-vessel narrowing. RCA — 100% proximal occlussion.

This pattern is essentially always accompanied by cardiogenic shock and high rates of VT/VF arrest, etc. The patient arrived to the ED in cardiogenic shock but awake. From an academic standpoint — I found several subtle ECG findings from the 2 tracings in this case to be especially interesting. Eur Heart J.
