Stroke: Vascular and Interventional Neurology

NOVEMBER 9, 2023

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

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.

Computer read: "Non-specific ST abnormality, consider anterior subendocardial ischemia" There are very poor R-waves in V1-V4 suggesting old anterior MI. Firstly, subendocardial ischemia does not localize on 12-Lead ECG. But the real question at hand is: Are these precordial ST-depressions a result of subendocardial ischemia?

As discussed in ECG Blog #108 — AIVR generally occurs in one of the following C linical S ettings : i ) As a rhythm during cardiac arrest; ii ) In the monitoring phase of acute MI ( especially with inferior MI ) ; or , iii ) As a reperfusion arrhythmia ( ie, following thrombolysis, acute angioplasty, or spontaneous reperfusion ).
