However, old MI w/aneurysm morphology (persistent ST-Elevation) can look just like this. While this may be change that is reciprocal to an Acute/Subacute Inferior STEMI, the problem is that LV aneurysm may also manifest with this reciprocal change. Old MI w/Aneurysm will show moderate ST Elevation, as seen here.

A middle-aged diabetic dialysis patient presented with 24 hours of nausea and vomiting associated with ~6 pound weight loss. Normal RBBB, no evidence of ischemia. This may be permanent and may be associated with echocardiographic dyskinesis (aneurysm). Patient stated his dry weight is around 85 kg. R-waves of of normal height.

This 57 yo diabetic male presented with generalized fatigue, myalgias, and arthralgias , mild subjective fever and chills, and nausea. Persistent ST elevation 3 days after a nearly transmural MI portends possible LV aneurysm. This 42 yo diabetic male presented with cough and foot pain. Cath showed a 95% LAD with flow.

1,2 ASCVD causes or contributes to conditions that include coronary artery disease (CAD), cerebrovascular disease, and peripheral vascular disease (inclusive of aortic aneurysm).3 mg reduced the risk of cardiovascular death, MI or heart attack, ischemic stroke, or ischemia-driven coronary revascularization by 31% compared with placebo.34

iv ) The findings in Figure-4 could reflect LV aneurysm. C ASE F ollow- U p: I later learned the history in today's case which was that a middle-aged man with diabetes and hypertension who presented to the ED ( E mergency D epartment ) for abdominal pain that had awakened him from sleep. Radionuclide scan was negative for ischemia.

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 were no other causes of dyspnea apparent and thus we can assume that myocardial ischemia started 6 days prior.
