The axiom of "type 1 (ACS, plaque rupture) STEMIs are not tachycardic unless they are in cardiogenic shock" is not applicable outside of sinus rhythm. Therefore this patient is either in some form of SVT or atrial flutter. Atrial flutter, when regular, must be conducting at 1:1, 2:1, 3:1, etc. If so, why?

LAFB, atrial flutter, anterolateral STEMI(+) OMI. Impella (cardiac output augmentation device) placed for cardiogenic shock Unfortunately, the patient progressed to multiorgan failure with worsening cardiac output despite being maxed on pressors and a balloon pump. He expired 4 days later.
