For those who depend on echocardiogram to confirm the ECG findings of ischemia, this should be sobering. In this case, the duration of ischemia was so brief that there was no such evolution, and there was near-normalization. Ischemia may be so brief that Wellens' waves do not evolve 3. The peak troponin I was 0.364 ng/ml.

Rescue treatment with stenting, balloon angioplasty, and/or intraarterial thrombolysis or antiplatelets are often required to treat the underlying stenosis. IntroductionIntracranial atherosclerotic disease (ICAD) is associated with up to 32% of posterior circulation strokes.1

Post by Smith and Meyers Sam Ghali ( [link] ) just asked me (Smith): "Steve, do left main coronary artery *occlusions* (actual ones with transmural ischemia) have ST Depression or ST Elevation in aVR?" That said, complete LM occlusion would be expected to have subepicardial ischemia (STE) in these myocardial territories: STE vector 1.

Marked differences can be seen in the prevalence of coronary artery stenosis at autopsy by age and gender. In 30-39 year old women the rate of coronary stenosis at autopsy was 5/1,545 (0.3%) while 60-69 year old men had a prevalence of 12%, almost 40 times higher. The results of this dataset by age and gender follow. This happens.

Cardiologist interpretation: "Technically does not meet STEMI criteria but concerning for ischemia." Cath around 1730: Left main: normal LAD: prox LAD 30% stenosis immediately followed by a "99-100% thrombus filled occlusion" involving the proximal and mid LAD, as well as a large diagonal branch, with TIMI 1 flow pre-procedure.
