Pulmonary Edema, Hypertension, and ST Elevation 2 Days After Stenting for Inferior STEMI

Dr. Smith's ECG Blog

Furthermore, the patient has no chest pain (certainly many STEMI do not have chest pain, but it should always make you especially scrutinize the ECG and the clinical situation) and there was severe hypertension. The hypertension alone is the likely etiology of the pulmonary edema. The cath lab was activated.
