Figure B At this point, with the ECG changing from diffuse ST depression to widespread ST elevation and the patient presenting in cardiogenic shock, left main coronary artery (LMCA) occlusion is the likely diagnosis. And then, 15 minutes later in today's case — this patient was in cardiogenic shock. As per Dr.

The patient in today’s case presented in cardiogenic shock from proximal LAD occlusion, in conjunction with a subtotally stenosed LMCA. This progressed to electrical storm , with incessant PolyMorphic Ventricular Tachycardia ( PMVT ) and recurrent episodes of Ventricular Fibrillation ( VFib ). RCA — 100% proximal occlussion.

The patient died of cardiogenic shock within 24 hours despite mechanical circulatory support. The axis is to the right and QRS complexes in lead I and aVL are predominantly negative suggesting LPFB. This patient at cath had a large CX occlusion with a massive troponin release. Troponin T >42.000ng/L.
