Chest pain followed by 6 days of increasing dyspnea -- what happened?

Dr. Smith's ECG Blog

Written by Magnus Nossen, edits by Smith The patient in today's case is an 85-year-old male with a history of COPD and dementia. 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.
