Smith and Myers found that in otherwise classic Wellens syndrome – that is, prior anginal chestpain that resolves with subsequent dynamic T wave inversions on the ECG – even the T waves of LBBB behave similarly. [2] Josephson’s Clinical Cardiac Electrophysiology: Techniques and Interpretations (6th ed). 7] Callans, D.
It was from a patient with chestpain: Note the obvious Brugada pattern. She has not yet been seen by electrophysiology or had further genetic testing for Brugada syndrome. The elevated troponin was attributed to either type 2 MI or to non-MI acute myocardial injury. There is no further workup at this time.
2 weeks Here is the final electrophysiology note: It is unclear what precipitated his motor vehicle collision. ECG of pneumopericardium and probable myocardial contusion shows typical pericarditis Male in 30's, 2 days after Motor Vehicle Collsion, complains of ChestPain and Dyspnea Head On Motor Vehicle Collision.
A late middle-aged man presented with one hour of chestpain. There is also bradycardia. Bradycardia puts patients at risk for "pause-dependent" Torsades de Pointes. Torsades in acquired long QT is much more likely in bradycardia because the QT interval following a long pause is longer still.
Patient 2 : 55 year old with 5 hours of chestpain radiating to the shoulder, with nausea and shortness of breath ECG: sinus bradycardia, normal conduction, normal axis, normal R wave progression, no hypertrophy. This was missed by the treating physician, but the chestpain resolved with aspirin.
Check : [vitals, SOB, ChestPain, Ultrasound] If the patient has Abdominal Pain, ChestPain, Dyspnea or Hypoxemia, Headache, Hypotension , then these should be considered the primary chief complaint (not syncope). Electrophysiologic studies were performed in selected patients only as clinically appropriate.
Regardless of further evaluation, she should avoid bradycardia, AV nodal blockers, Na channel blockers, and fevers. --If The patient denied any chestpain whatsoever, and a troponin at zero and 2 hours were both undetectable. EP study to further risk stratify her is recommended, with ICD placement depending on the results.
