Figure B At this point, with the ECG changing from diffuse ST depression to widespread ST elevation and the patient presenting in cardiogenicshock, left main coronary artery (LMCA) occlusion is the likely diagnosis. This patient is actively dying from a left main coronary artery OMI and cardiacarrest from VT/VF or PEA is imminent!
The patient in today’s case presented in cardiogenicshock from proximal LAD occlusion, in conjunction with a subtotally stenosed LMCA. This progressed to electrical storm , with incessant PolyMorphic Ventricular Tachycardia ( PMVT ) and recurrent episodes of Ventricular Fibrillation ( VFib ). RCA — 100% proximal occlussion.
There is sinus tachycardia (do not be fooled into thinking this is VT or another wide complex tachycardia!) This pattern is essentially always accompanied by cardiogenicshock and high rates of VT/VF arrest, etc. The patient arrived to the ED in cardiogenicshock but awake. Code STEMI was activated.
The patient died of cardiogenicshock within 24 hours despite mechanical circulatory support. Smith: This bizarre ECG looks like a post cardiacarrest ECG with probable acidosis or hyperkalemia in addition to OMI. This patient at cath had a large CX occlusion with a massive troponin release. Troponin T >42.000ng/L.
There was 100% proximal LAD occlusion with TIMI 0 flow, and cardiacarrest in the cath lab. There is sinus tachycardia at ~100/minute. As often emphasized by Dr. Smith — sinus tachycardia is not a common finding with acute OMI unless something else is going on (ie, cardiogenicshock ). As per Dr.
Category 2 : An increase in myocardial oxygen demand due to tachycardia, elevated ventricular afterload (BP or aortic stenosis), or increased wall stretch (admittedly this latter is more complicated) or a decrease in oxygen supply due to hypotension, anemia, hypoxia, or a combination of all of the above. This results in Type I MI.
An elderly man with sudden cardiogenicshock, diffuse ST depressions, and STE in aVR Literature 1. Thirty-six patients (36%) presented with cardiacarrest, and 78% (28/36) underwent emergent angiography. A slightly prolonged QTc ( although this is difficult to assess given the tachycardia ). Left main?
Lactate was 20, POC Cardiac US showed EF estimated at 30%, and formal echo showed EF of only 15%, and a normal RV. Assessment was severe sudden cardiogenicshock. Clinically — the patient was felt to be in cardiogenicshock. They recorded an EC G: New ST Elevation. What is it? There is STE in V2-V6.
It is a wide complex regular tachycardia at a rate of 120. Is it ventricular tachycardia? I fear that many learners would also not easily recognize where the QRS actually ends, and I fear that some may think that this is ventricular tachycardia due to inability to distinguish QRS from ST segment. The ST Elevation is NOT typical.
