Syncope and ST Elevation on the Prehospital ECG

Dr. Smith's ECG Blog

He was admitted for monitoring, as his risk of a ventricular dysrhythmia as cause of the syncope is high ( very high due to HFrEF and ischemic cardiomyopathy ). Discussion Thus, no further ECGs were recorded and there was no angiogram or stress test or CT coronary angiogram. The estimated LV ejection fraction is 35%.
