Ischemia

A dialysis patient with nonspecific symptoms and pseudonormalization of ST segments

Normally, concavity in ST segments suggests absence of anterior ischemia (though concavity by itself is not reassuring - see this study ). The lesion was intervened on with balloon angioplasty and had subsequent TIMI 3 flow. In there ECG evidence of possible ongoing ischemia? (ie, There was initially TIMI 0 flow.

The patient continued to have ischemia after PCI, and in fact had an episode of polymorphic VT shortly after while in the ICU. Determinants and prognostic implications of persistent ST-segment elevation after primary angioplasty for acute myocardial infarction: importance of microvascular reperfusion injury on clinical outcome.
