Diffuse Subendocardial Ischemia on the ECG. Left main? 3-vessel disease? No!

Dr. Smith's ECG Blog

Smith comment: This patient did not have a bedside ultrasound. Had one been done, it would have shown a feature that is apparent on this ultrasound (however, this patient's LV function would not be as good as in this clip): This is recorded with the LV on the right. Look at the aortic outflow tract. What should be done?

Pulmonary edema, with tachycardia and OMI on the ECG -- what is going on?

Dr. Smith's ECG Blog

I suspect pulmonary edema, but we are not given information on presence of B-lines on bedside ultrasound, or CXR findings. The patient was finally weaned to room air on day 4 and taken for a CT scan to evaluate the possibility of aortic valve replacement. Or I suspect that there is OMI simultaneous with another pathology.
