Of the 32 patients, 9(28.1%) had dissection with diagnostic angiograms, 6(18.8%) endovascular thrombectomy, 15(46.9%) aneurysm treatment, and 2(6.3%) angioplasty with or without stenting. Common comorbidities included hypertension (62.5%), smoking (56.3%), and hyperlipidemia (46.9%).

Persistent ST elevation 3 days after a nearly transmural MI portends possible LV aneurysm. It is very unlikely to be LV aneurysm morphology when the ST elevation is so high and the T-Wave inversion is so deep. The patient continued to have ischemia after PCI, and in fact had an episode of polymorphic VT shortly after while in the ICU.

Repeat ECG at 1624 (shortly before cath): QS waves now present in V2-V3, with slight STE, showing the pattern of left ventricular aneurysm morphology. Cardiologist interpretation: "Technically does not meet STEMI criteria but concerning for ischemia." Upon arrival to the PCI center, the repeat troponin returned at 13,962 ng/L.
