He was rushed by residents into our critical care room with a diagnosis of STEMI, and they handed me this ECG: There is sinus tachycardia with ST elevation in II, III, and aVF, as well as V4-V6. ACS and STEMI generally do not cause tachycardia unless there is cardiogenic shock. He had this ECG recorded. The HCO3 was 8.

Because of the tachcardia, I would expect her to be very poor left ventricular function and maybe Cardiogenic shock. Today’s patient developed the series of 4 tachyarrhythmias shown above in the critical care area of the ED. Instead, he complained of left chest "itchiness". Not all anterior LV aneurysm has a QS-wave.

Why is the patient in shock? He was in profound cardiogenic shock. The patient arrived at the Emergency Dept critical care area and had this ECG recorded: The sinus bradycardia persists. There is an obvious inferior STEMI, but what else? This STE is diagnostic of Right Ventricular STEMI (RV MI).
