The electrocardiogram (ECG) revealed T-wave inversions on precordial leads. Transthoracic echocardiogram (TTE) findings were consistent with Takotsubo syndrome, accompanied by mild left ventricular dysfunction. Her blood analyses demonstrated elevation of myocardial necrosis markers (peak of troponin I of 3.4

Many systems now refrain from showing computer "normal" ECGs to the busy emergency physicians at triage because of very poorly conceived articles that say that if the computer algorithm says "normal," the emergency physician should not be bothered. Formal echocardiogram: Systolic function is at the lower limits of normal.

Here is an article I wrote: Updates on the ECG in ACS. An echocardiogram on day 3 showed no wall motion abnormality (but of course, these can resolved with reperfusion, and the more time it has to resolve from "stunning", the more likely it is to be resolved). Updates on the Electrocardiogram in Acute Coronary Syndromes.

Here is the classic article on continuous 12-lead monitoring (in full text) showing that the ECG is a much more reliable indicator of re-occlusion than are symptoms. Here is another classic article. It is well documented with continuous 12-lead monitoring that acute re-occlusion is frequently asymptomatic. Patel DJ, et al.

Formal Echocardiogram: The estimated left ventricular ejection fraction is 58 %. Regional wall motion abnormality-distal septum anterior and apex Today, shortly after this case presented, I received in my inbasket from Journal Feed this article which promotes the idea that "normal" ECGs by computer do not need to be overread by a physician.

The article is edited by Smith. A formal echocardiogram was completed the next day and again showed a normal ejection fraction without any focal wall motion abnormalities to suggest CAD. Induced Brugada-type electrocardiogram, a sign for imminent malignant arrhythmias. This was submitted by Alexandra Schick.
