Henry Ford Health's National Cardiogenic Shock Initiative research team. Cardiogenic shock is a critical condition in which the heart is unable to pump enough blood to sustain the body’s needs, depriving vital organs of blood supply. This can cause those organs to eventually stop functioning.

Circulation: Cardiovascular Quality and Outcomes, Ahead of Print. Admissions to CICUs with the highest tertile of CCRx utilization had a greater burden of comorbidities, had more diagnoses of ST–elevation myocardial infarction, cardiac arrest, or cardiogenic shock, and had higher Sequential Organ Failure Assessment scores.

The notes now refer to the patient being in cardiogenic shock, on pressors. hours from presentation, where he was found to have an acute thrombotic LAD occlusion which was stented with resulting TIMI 3 flow, but still the patient was in severe cardiogenic shock.

We recorded an ECG in which V1-V3 were put in the position of V4R-V6R, and V4-6 were placed in V7-9 to (academically) confirm posterior OMI. I say academically because the STD in V2 is diagnostic -- posterior leads are NOT necessary. What to do? STE and STD were measured at the J-point, relative to the PQ junction.

This is one case where it made a difference: Right Ventricular MI seen on ECG helps Angiographer to find Culprit Lesion Nevertheless, it is sometimes a fun academic exercise to try to predict the infarct artery: An elderly patient had onset of chest pain one hour prior. Thus, this ECG predicts poor myocardial perfusion and poor outcome.

The axiom of "type 1 (ACS, plaque rupture) STEMIs are not tachycardic unless they are in cardiogenic shock" is not applicable outside of sinus rhythm. Again, not an expected outcome with diltiazem). I limit my comments to a number of academic and semantic concepts relating to the arrhythmia in this case: What is an “SVT”?
