Patient still not having chest pain however this is more concerning for OMI/STEMI. Wellens' syndrome is a syndrome of Transient OMI (old terminology would be transient STEMI). As far as I can tell, there is only one randomized trial of immediate vs. delayed intervention for transient STEMI. Labs ordered but not yet drawn.

Over the next few hours, four other general cardiologists "signed off on the initial ECG without recognizing STEMI." They found 100% acute mid-LAD Occlusion MI, stented with excellent angiographic result. Learning Points: STEMI criteria misses 25-40% of OMI, like this case for example. mm of the "required" 1.0

Subtle as a STEMI." (i.e., She was taken to the cath lab, where she was found to have 100% in-stent restenosis of the proximal LAD. In our study, there were 20/53 complete LAD OMI (TIMI-0 flow) which did not meet STEMI criteria. None of the 20 ever evolved to STEMI criteria. This one is easy for the Queen.

This is documented as a STEMI in the clinical notes and in the cath report, but certainly does not meet STEMI criteria and is therefore an NSTEMI by definition. For national registry purposes, this will be incorrectly classified as a STEMI.) Most STEMI have peak cTnI greater than 10.0. Large STEMI are approximately 30-80.

Intra-procedural data included access route, coronary anatomy, lesion complexity, number of stents deployed, door-to-balloon time for primary PCI, and any intra-procedural complications. and the average number of stents 2.6. The radial approach was used in 544/567 (95.94%), the average SYNTAX score was 34.8 ± 9.6,

2017 ) Clinical implication of such coronary anomalies Apart from angiographic surprises, these anomalous coronary arteries may under-perfuse the ventricle and present as unexplained cardiomyopathy , until we realize the anatomical errors in coronary anatomy. We know, how adverse is the outcome of Left main STEMI. Annu Rev Physiol.

The first EKG was concerning for a Wellen’s-like pattern of subtle reperfusion changes in the setting of stuttering anginal-equivalent symptoms, but none were diagnostic of STEMI or OMI. Later in the night, the patient became bradycardic and developed a Mobitz II pattern , but he remained asymptomatic and hemodynamically stable.
