This is a value typical for a large subacute MI, n ormal value 48 hours after myocardial infarction is associated with Post-Infarction Regional Pericarditis ( PIRP ). PIRP is strongly associated with myocardial rupture. The VSR is what is causing the cardiogenic shock! Heart rate was in the 80s.

Thus, this is BOTH an anterior and inferior STEMI in the setting of RBBB. How old is this antero-inferior STEMI? Although acute anterior STEMI frequently has narrow QR-waves within one hour of onset (1. the presence of such well developed, wide, anterior Q-wave suggests completed transmural STEMI.

The ECG was read as "No STEMI" and the patient was treated like an average chest pain patient (despite the fact that a chest pain patient with active pain and active subendocardial ischemia is very high risk). The notes now refer to the patient being in cardiogenic shock, on pressors. Eur J Emerg Med. 2017;24:236–242.

When total LM occlusion does present with STE in aVR, there is ALWAYS ST Elevation elsewhere which makes STEMI obvious; in other words, STE is never limited to only aVR but instead it is part of a massive and usually obvious STEMI. All are, however, clearly massive STEMI. This is her ECG: An obvious STEMI, but which artery?

I have always said that tachycardia should argue against acute MI unless there is cardiogenic shock or 2 simultaneous pathologies. The goal of the present analysis was to examine whether the presence of tachycardia identified patients unlikely to have type 1 myocardial infarction.

Because of the tachcardia, I would expect her to be very poor left ventricular function and maybe Cardiogenic shock.

I had no idea SCAD was so common a cause of acute STEMI in younger women, even when they are non-smokers.
