Both of these features make inferior + RV MI by far the most likely ( Pseudoanteroseptal MI is another name for this ) There is also sinus bradycardia and t he patient is in shock with hypotension. A narrow complex bradycardia without any P-waves is also likely to respond to atropine, as it may be a junctional rhythm.

Extensive conduction system abnormalities can have various causes (ischemia, genetic, infectious, amyloid, etc). The physiologic reason for this — is thought to be the result of momentarily increased circulation from mechanical contraction arising from the "sandwiched in" QRS complex. The QRS complex in ECG #1 is wide.

2] Conduction through the accessory pathway can be intermittent (with different degrees of pre-excitation), and affected by ischemia. 3] So a patient with WPW can have the pattern induced by ischemia, and there is also a report of a patient with pre-existing WPW which was “ablated” by myocardial infarction after an LAD occlusion.[4]

Evidence of acute ischemia (may be subtle) vii. PVCs N ot generally considered abnormal ECG findings: Isolated PAC, First Degree AV Block, Sinus bradycardia at a rate of 35-45, and Nonspecific ST-T abnormalities (even if different from a previous ECG). Left BBB vi. Pathologic Q-waves viii. LVH or RV d. Abnormal but less worrisome: i.

Within ten minutes, she developed bradycardia, hypotension, and ST changes on monitor. Bradycardia and heart block are very common in RCA OMI. It is possible there is microvascular dysfunction producing residual transmural ischemia. With regard to the Physiologic Chain Reaction As per Dr. Frick We do not have all the answers.
