The ECG shows sinus bradycardia but is otherwise normal. The LAD has diffuse disease with a few areas of moderate stenosis but no flow-limiting lesions. Written by Willy Frick A 46 year old man with a history of type 2 diabetes mellitus presented to urgent care with complaint of "chest burning." The following ECG was obtained.
There is sinus bradycardia with one PVC. The ways to tell for certain include intravascular ultrasound (to look for extra-luminal plaque with rupture) or "optical coherence tomography," something I am entirely unfamiliar with. distal stenosis or occluded small branches), and 3) nonischemic causes for myocyte injury (e.g.,
Angiogram showed a critical LAD thrombotic stenosis. The patient went to cath and had a distal LAD 99% stenosis with thrombus and TIMI-2 flow. Patient presentation is important This was a 60-something with acute chest pain: There is sinus bradycardia at a rate of 44. Why bradycardia? He underwent CABG. Peak was 8.1
Triage physician interpretation: -sinus bradycardia -lateral ST depressions While there are lateral ST depressions (V5, V6) the deepest ST depressions are in V4. 90% stenosis of the proximal ramus intermedius, pre procedure TIMI II flow The ramus intermedius is a normal variant on coronary anatomy that arises between the LAD and LCX.
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.
Angiography : LMCA — 90-99% osteal stenosis. LCx — 50-69% stenosis of the 1st marginal branch; with 100% distal LCx occlusion. There was no evidence bradycardia leading up to the runs of PMVT ( as tends to occur with Torsades ). The image shows the impella device in place. RCA — 100% proximal occlussion.
Aortic Dissection, Valvular (especially Aortic Stenosis), Tamponade. Check : [vitals, SOB, Chest Pain, Ultrasound] If the patient has Abdominal Pain, Chest Pain, Dyspnea or Hypoxemia, Headache, Hypotension , then these should be considered the primary chief complaint (not syncope). heart auscultation (aortic stenosis); c.
