The striking finding is the huge enlargement of the right pulmonary artery, almost aneurysmal dilatation of right pulmonary artery. This is the aortic knuckle. The possibillities here would be severe primary pulmonary hypertension versus atrial septal defect with severe pulmonary hypertension. It is not visible here.

Single-factor analysis indicated that age, hypertension, maximum aneurysm diameter, proportion of intraluminal thrombus, diameter of inferior mesenteric artery (IMA), and number of patent lumbar arteries (LA) were risk factors for T2EL-related reintervention. and aneurysm diameter of 53.55

A 69 year old woman with a history of hypertension presented to the emergency department by EMS for evaluation of chest pain and shortness of breath. There are no Q-waves to suggest old inferior MI, or inferior aneurysm as the etiology of the ST Elevation. What "initiates" the aortic stenosis cascade?

When there are QS-waves, one should always think about LV aneurysm, but ST to QRS ratio and T-wave to QRS ratio are far too large and not compatible with left ventricular aneurysm. Larger shunt volume means less blood exiting the left ventricle through the aortic valve and lower cardiac output. This ECG shows a lot of "acuity".
