We aimed to investigate the prevalence and outcomes of patients with SMuRF-less ACS undergoing percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) compared with those with SMuRFs. Patients with coronary artery disease were excluded. SMuRF-less patients were more likely to present with cardiac arrest (6.6%

The ST segment changes are compatible with severe subendocardial ischemia which can be caused by type I MI from ACS or potentially from type II MI (non-obstructive coronary artery disease with supply/demand mismatch). The arterial blood gas showed a lactic acidosis with a lactate level of 17mmol/L. As per Dr.

The patient in today’s case presented in cardiogenic shock from proximal LAD occlusion, in conjunction with a subtotally stenosed LMCA. Studies of patients with coronary artery disease who developed arrhythmic storm with episodes of PMVT following MI — show arrhythmias indistinguishable from those reported in this case.
