ECG Cases

SEPTEMBER 12, 2023

Jesse MacLaren guides us through 10 cases of patients who present with generalized weakness or acute neurologic symptoms and discusses how to look for ECG signs of dysrhythmias, electrolyte emergencies, acute coronary occlusion, and demand ischemia in patients with generalized weakness and in patients with neurologic symptoms, to consider predisposing (..)

We quantified PFO closure among individuals with ≥2 years of preprocedure coverage to establish indications, classified hierarchically as stroke/systemic embolism, migraine, transient ischemia attack, or other.Results:We identified 5315 patients undergoing PFO closure (51.8% underwent closure for stroke/systemic embolism, 10.2%

Previous studies have noted that ICAD-related LVOs, compared to embolic occlusions, have longer procedural times and lower successful reperfusion rates. Successful recanalization was defined as Thrombolysis in Cerebral Ischemia score ≥2b. However, clinical outcomes remain similar.

The rhythm is atrial fibrillation. In terms of ischemia, there is both a signal of subendocardial ischemia (STD max in V5-V6 with reciprocal STE in aVR) AND a signal of transmural infarction of the inferior wall with Q wave and STE in lead III with reciprocal STD in I and aVL. The QRS complex is within normal limits.

BACKGROUND:Oral anticoagulation is suggested in patients with atrial fibrillation and a CHA2DS2-VASc score ≥1 (congestive heart failure, hypertension, age ≥75 years, diabetes, stroke, vascular disease, age 65–74 years, and sex score). Circulation, Ahead of Print. Female sex was not considered a risk factor in any risk group.
