A middle-aged diabetic dialysis patient presented with 24 hours of nausea and vomiting associated with ~6 pound weight loss. This may be permanent and may be associated with echocardiographic dyskinesis (aneurysm). LV aneurysm is common in completed, full thickness (transmural) MI, which is what we have here.

Past medical history included diabetes and hypertension. Peak troponin was a massive 500,000 ng/L, echo showed EF reduced to 20%, and follow up ECG showed LV aneurysm morphology with anterior Q wave and persisting ST elevation. Vitals were normal. The prehospital, ED computer, and final cardiology interpretation was STEMI negative.

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. There is some R wave in the lateral precordial leads. Leads V3 and V4 both have 6mm ST elevation. This ECG shows a lot of "acuity".
