Because of the tachcardia, I would expect her to be very poor left ventricular function and maybe Cardiogenic shock. Today’s patient developed the series of 4 tachyarrhythmias shown above in the critical care area of the ED. Instead, he complained of left chest "itchiness". Not all anterior LV aneurysm has a QS-wave.

Tachycardia is unusual for OMI, unless the patient is in cardiogenic shock (or getting close). Written by Colin Jenkins. Edits by Willy Frick.
