The ECG shows sinus tachycardia with RBBB and LAFB, without clear additional superimposed signs of ischemia. ECG of pneumopericardium and probable myocardial contusion shows typical pericarditis Male in 30's, 2 days after Motor Vehicle Collsion, complains of Chest Pain and Dyspnea Head On Motor Vehicle Collision. ST depression.

Remember, in diffuse subendocardial ischemia with widespread ST-depression there may b e ST-E in lead s aVR and V1. There are well formed R-waves with good voltage/amplitude which is uncommon for ischemia. The ECG does not show any signs of ischemia. True Positive ECG#2 : Also sinus rhythm. There is ST depression in V1.

Here is his previous ECG: This was my interpretation of the first ECG: Sinus bradycardia with less than 1mm ST elevation in V4-V6, elevated compared to the previous ECG, suggestive of lateral MI. In patients with suspicion of acute MI who have any ST elevation, aVL is also a very useful lead to differentiate between pericarditis and MI.

This ECG shows a sinus bradycardia with a normal conduction pattern (normal PR, normal QRS, and normal QTc), normal axis, normal R-wave progression, normal voltages. Hypothermia can also produce bradycardia and J waves, with a pseudo-STEMI pattern. ECG met STEMI criteria and was labeled STEMI by computer interpretation.

Pericarditis? For coronary anatomy, see here: [link] This is the post intervention ECG: All ST Elevation is gone (more proof that it was all a result of ischemia) Formal Echo: Normal estimated left ventricular ejection fraction - 55%. This is sinus bradycardia. Time zero What do you think? There is inferior ST elevation.
