Interventional management involved performing percutaneous transluminal coronary angioplasty using balloon dilation on both the left main coronary artery and its ostium. The patient experienced resolution of symptoms, and ventricular premature beats disappeared on electrocardiogram monitoring.

Electrocardiogram (ECG) showed a prominent S wave in the left-sided leads and a prominent R wave in the right-sided chest leads, suggesting dextrocardia. After guidewire crossing, balloon angioplasty was performed, and a drug-eluting stent was deployed. His vital signs were normal, and the physical examination was unremarkable.

These tests may include: Electrocardiogram (ECG) : Records the electrical activity of your heart. A heart check-up is a comprehensive evaluation of your cardiovascular health. It typically includes a physical examination, medical history review and diagnostic tests. Echocardiogram : Uses sound waves to create images of your heart.

New electrocardiographic criteria for posterior wall acute myocardial ischemia validated by a percutaneous transluminal coronary angioplasty model of acute myocardial infarction. 3 However, 22-39% of patients experiencing posterior MI who have greater than or equal to 0.5mm STE in the posterior leads do not demonstrate STD in V1-V3.
