Still Irregular Blood pressure during these rhythms was adequate; there was no shock. Old MI with persistent ST Elevation (LV aneurysm morphology) can look like acute MI 2. Not all anterior LV aneurysm has a QS-wave. LV Aneurysm? Looks like atrial fibrillation. At this point, they recorded the above 12-lead.

EMS 12-Lead

The EMS narrative reports that her blood pressure and oxygenation improved modestly with rhythm stability for transport duration. The QRS is wide in B — but the rhythm is irregularly irregular with no sinus P waves — so this most probably represents rapid AFib with an atypical RBBB/LPHB morphology.

A fascinating electrophysiology case. What is this wide complex tachycardia, and how best to manage it?

These are all findings that can be expected with left ventricular aneurysm. The patient also has a history of AFib and HFmrEF ( = H eart F ailure with M inimally- R educed E jection F raction ). The ECG shows what is likely an atrial ectopic rhythm with a left anterior hemiblock. There is some STE.
