For those who depend on echocardiogram to confirm the ECG findings of ischemia, this should be sobering. A comparison of electrocardiographic changes during reperfusion of acute myocardial infarction by thrombolysis or percutaneous transluminal coronary angioplasty. The peak troponin I was 0.364 ng/ml.

Successful primary angioplasty of the mid-circumflex artery towards the main marginal branch with the implantation of a drug-eluting stent. The echocardiogram shows a preserved left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) of 55% with marked basal and mid inferolateral and basal anterolateral hypokinesia. Good angiographic result.

On echocardiogram, there was a 40% ejection fraction with anterior wall motion abnormality. Impact of delay to angioplasty in patients with acute coronary syndromes undergoing invasive management: analysis from the ACUITY (Acute Catheterization and Urgent Intervention Triage strategY) trial. The peak troponin I was over 100.
