Post cath ECG: Now there are hyperacute T-waves again, and recurrent ST depression in V2 This ECG would normally diagnostic of OMI until proven otherwise No further troponins were measured, but it looks like there is recurrent OMI Next day: A CT Coronary Angiogram was done (CTCA) CARDIAC MORPHOLOGY AND FUNCTION: 1. IMPRESSION: 1.

ng/mL This single initial troponin at this level, in the context of chest pain, is high enough to be diagnostic of acute myocardial infarction. A CT Coronary angiogram was ordered. Here are the results: --Minimally obstructive coronary artery disease. --LAD Transient STEMI is at high risk of re-occlusion.

BP 142/100 HR 90 RR 16 (BBS CTA) SpO2 99 (RA) Dstick 110 My colleagues noted the ST-depression in the respective leads, as well, and STEMI activated to the nearest PCI center. 1] Here is the admitting ED ECG after cancellation of Code STEMI. Cardiology admitted him for observation with plans for next-day coronary angiogram.

The cardiologist recognized that there were EKG changes, but did not take the patient for emergent catheterization because the EKG was “not meeting criteria for STEMI”. Diagnosis of Type I vs. Type II Myocardial Infarction in Emergency Department patients with Ischemic Symptoms (abstract 102). Murakami MM.

He denied any known medical history, specifically: coronary artery disease, hypertension, dyslipidemia, diabetes, heart failure, myocardial infarction, or any prior PCI/stent. It doesn’t meet any conventional STEMI criteria, but there is patently obvious increased area under the curve. No appreciable skin pallor.

This has been termed a “STEMI equivalent” and included in STEMI guidelines, suggesting this patient should receive dual anti-platelets, heparin and immediate cath lab activation–or thrombolysis in centres where cath lab is not available. aVR ST segment elevation: acute STEMI or not?
