Final models were chosen to optimise area under the curve (AUC) score while ensuring interpretability.ResultsOverall, 128 (6.9%) patients died in hospital, with 292 (15.7%) patients requiring ICU admission and 373 (20.0%) patients with LVEF < 40%. for ICU admission, and 0.74 for in-hospital mortality, 0.78 for LVEF < 40%.

Subtle as a STEMI." (i.e., About 45 minutes after the second EKG, the patient was found in cardiac arrest. A temporary pacemaker was implanted, and she was admitted to the ICU with cardiogenic shock. Later the next day, she went into cardiac arrest again. None of the 20 ever evolved to STEMI criteria.

The patient was admitted to the ICU for close monitoring and electrolyte repletion and had an uneventful hospital course. Polymorphic Ventricular Tachycardia Long QT Syndrome with Continuously Recurrent Polymorphic VT: Management Cardiac Arrest. Is it STEMI? What does the ECG show? Also see the bizarre Bigeminy.

Despite the clinical context, Cardiology was consulted due to concerns for a "STEMI". He was admitted to the ICU and transferred emergently to a facility where he could undergo emergent dialysis as a part of further evaluation and management. Steve, what do you think of this ECG in this Cardiac Arrest Patient?"

Fortunately, he was extubated several days later in the ICU with intact baseline mental status and was discharged shortly thereafter to subacute rehab. His troponin I peaked at 97 ng/mL (very large MI!). His follow up ECHO the next day revealed an EF of 24% and a posterior wall motion abnormality.

and the patient was given more insulin/dextrose/calcium and admitted to ICU. 2] Curiously, ACLS does not include consideration of calcium in its bradycardia algorithm, which could have prevented the arrest and which along with the epi produced ROSC.

The paramedics diagnosis was "Possible Anterolateral STEMI." More proof that a huge STEMI may have normal or near normal initial troponin. A retrospective 'target trial emulation' comparing amiodarone and lidocaine for adult out-of-hospital cardiac arrest resuscitation. The final angiographic result is very good.
