Specific genetic variants, such as those affecting cholesterol metabolism, can increase the likelihood of plaque buildup in the arteries. Arrhythmias: Genetic mutations can also predispose individuals to irregular heart rhythms, such as atrial fibrillation or long QT syndrome, which may increase the risk of stroke or sudden cardiac arrest.

Coronary Artery Disease (CAD) CAD, which involves the narrowing or blockage of coronary arteries due to plaque buildup, can reduce blood flow to the heart. Echocardiogram An echocardiogram uses sound waves to produce a detailed image of the heart, allowing doctors to see the size of the heart chambers and how well the heart is pumping blood.

Echocardiogram showed LVEF 66% with normal wall motion and normal diastolic function. However, he did not remember much from the day of the arrest. Lesions less than 70% are generally considered to be non-flow limiting. Two subsequent troponins were down trending.

However, an echocardiogram is a different test, also conducted for heart activity. Cardiac arrest Cardiac arrest is a medical emergency in which the heart stops pumping blood to the body. Electrocardiogram, echocardiogram, and some other tests are done for patients with cardiac arrest.

It is apparently fortunate that she had a cardiac arrest; otherwise, her ECG would have been ignored. Here is the cath report: Echocardiogram: There is severe hypokinesis of entire LV apex and apical segment of all the walls. To prove there is no plaque rupture, you need to do intravascular ultrasound (IVUS).

Category 1 : Sudden narrowing of a coronary artery due to ACS (plaque rupture with thrombosis and/or downstream showering of platelet-fibrin aggregates. elevated BP), but rather directly correlated with coronary obstruction (due to plaque rupture and thrombosis) and, potentially, stymied TIMI flow. This results in Type I MI.

See this case: what do you think the echocardiogram shows in this case? Thirty-six patients (36%) presented with cardiac arrest, and 78% (28/36) underwent emergent angiography. Widespread ST-depression with reciprocal aVR ST-elevation can be cause by: Heart rate related: tachyarrhythmia (e.g.,
