In terms of ischemia, there is both a signal of subendocardial ischemia (STD max in V5-V6 with reciprocal STE in aVR) AND a signal of transmural infarction of the inferior wall with Q wave and STE in lead III with reciprocal STD in I and aVL. He had multiple cardiac arrests with ROSC regained each time.

Although one may have all kinds of ischemic findings as a result of cardiac arrest (rather than cause of cardiac arrest), this degree of ST elevation and HATW is all but diagnostic of acute proximal LAD occlusion. This rules out subendocardial ischemia and is diagnostic of posterior OMI. V4-5 continue to show STD.

Bedside cardiac ultrasound showed moderately decreased LV function. CT of the chest showed no pulmonary embolism but bibasilar infiltrates. See this post: How a pause can cause cardiac arrest 2. She was intubated. She had an ECG recorded: This is left bundle branch block (LBBB), with appropriate proportional discordance.

This may result in ischemia (lack of oxygen to the heart muscle), causing parts of the heart to weaken and enlarge. Blood Clots: An enlarged heart is more prone to developing blood clots, which can lead to stroke or pulmonary embolism.

Use of objective evidence of myocardial ischemia to facilitate the diagnostic and prognostic distinction between type 2 myocardial infarction and myocardial injury. Clinically — despite an initial 2-fold increased troponin, the normal bedside Echo was reassuring against OMI or pulmonary embolism. Available from: [link] 9.

There is ST depression beyond the end of the wide QRS in I, II, aVF, and V4-V6, diagnostic of with subendocardial ischemia. It makes pulmonary embolism (PE) very likely. First, what kind of arrest was this? It was a PEA or bradyasystolic arrest , not a shockable rhythm. There is no ST elevation. He was in profound shock.

They include myocardial ischemia, acute pericarditis, pulmonary embolism, external compression due to mass over the right ventricular outflow tract region, and metabolic disorders like hyper or hypokalemia and hypercalcemia. According to a recent systematic review and meta-analysis, spontaneous type 1 ECG had 2.4%
