Doctors then treat the cause of the heart attack, either inserting a stent, removing a clot or taking other necessary action. The NCSI study involved cardiologists at both community hospitals, where many patients with heart attack first present, and large academic centers.

Bleeding events were defined as any bleeding based on the Valve Academic Research Consortium-2 consensus document at 1 year. Patterns of Non-adherence to Anti-Platelet Regimen in Stented Patients (PARIS) and Coronary Revascularisation Demonstrating Outcome Study in Kyoto (CREDO-Kyoto) integer scoring systems were tested.

Past medical history includes coronary stenting 17 years prior. If you take old people with a history of MI (he had a stent), that percentage goes far higher since there is scar tissue that acts as a nidus for the PVCs that initiate VT. Definitive diagnosis that ECG #1 is in fact VT is more than academic.

I say academically because the STD in V2 is diagnostic -- posterior leads are NOT necessary. Angiogram: Culprit Lesion (s): Thrombotic occlusion of the proximal RCA -- stented. What to do?

In their haste to hyperventilate about MINOCA, the authors don’t highlight the high percentage of cardiac interventions that are needed in patients with conventional, common epicardial disease - 80% need a coronary stent and 10% need open heart surgery.
