Diffuse Subendocardial Ischemia on the ECG. Left main? 3-vessel disease? No!

Dr. Smith's ECG Blog

A transthoracic echocardiogram showed an LV EF of less than 15%, critically severe aortic stenosis , severe LVH , and a small LV cavity. The patient was transported to the CCU for further medical optimization where a pulmonary artery catheter was placed. If you see this, you should Doppler the valve.
