Thus, the patient does not (yet) get a formal diagnosis of MI and must be called unstable angina unless further troponins return above the 99th percentile. On the basis of unresolved angina, cardiology decided to perform rescue PCI. Medically refractory angina should have immediate angiography, but this only happens 6.4%

Therefore this is " Transient ST Elevation Unstable Angina." As there was ruptured plaque, this is NOT Prinzmetal's angina. Here are many other cases of Unstable Angina , in spite of Eugene Braunwald's Requiem for Unstable Angina. So Unstable Angina still exists [even with high sensitivity (hs) troponins].

Angina is another common symptom due the hypertrophy which causes a coronary supply demand mismatch Symptoms of HCM include syncope/near syncope, which could be precipitated by exertion, hypovolemia, rapid standing, Valsalva manoeuvre, diuretics, vasodilators or arrhythmia. Palpitations can be felt if there are arrhythmias.

Measurement of QT interval is very important, as QT prolongation can predispose to serious, life threatening ventricular arrhythmias. QT prolongation leads to torsades des pointes, which is a very serious arrhythmia. That is usually with angina and ventricular strain patterns. One easy value which I remember is 0.34

The finding of all negative QRS complexes in leads V3-thru- V6 therefore strongly suggests that the arrhythmia-associated impulse is not traveling over an AP ( Steurer et al — Clin. This should result in at least some positivity of QRS complexes as one moves toward the lateral chest leads. Cardiol 17:306-308, 1994 ).

Relationship between Ischemia and arrhythmia While the relationship between Ischemia and VT is really complex, the term “Ischemic VT” itself adds more twists. In chronic VT , shooting down the ischemic focus by ablation its more likely to extinguish the arrhythmia ,rather than revascularization.

A middle aged male with no h/o CAD presented with one week of crescendo exertional angina, and had chest pain at the time of the first ECG: Here is the patient's previous ECG: Here is the patient's presenting ED ECG: There is isolated ST depression in precordial leads, deeper in V2 - V4 than in V5 or V6. There is no ST elevation.
