Patients usually have a normal life expectancy unless other structural heart diseases are present. Electrocardiogram (ECG) showed a prominent S wave in the left-sided leads and a prominent R wave in the right-sided chest leads, suggesting dextrocardia. His vital signs were normal, and the physical examination was unremarkable.

Electrocardiogram (ECG) and telemetry revealed junctional bradycardia with heart rate in 30s and sinus pauses (5-7 seconds). Echocardiogram was unchanged from baseline. Patient did not report any symptoms and was hemodynamically stable. He was euvolemic on physical exam. Urine drug screen was positive for cannabis.

See this case: what do you think the echocardiogram shows in this case? Diffuse ST depression with ST elevation in aVR: Is this pattern specific for global ischemia due to left main coronary artery disease? Incidence of an acute coronary occlusion. POCUS showed good LV-function and no pericardial effusion.

You will note that it is essentially an unremarkable electrocardiogram except for some PACS. He was taken emergently to the cardiac catheterization lab and found to have multi-vessel coronary artery disease with a near-occlusive culprit lesion in the RCA, possibly reperfused. To our knowledge, the patient did well.

Heart Valve Disease If one or more heart valves are not functioning correctly, it can cause blood to flow backward, putting extra pressure on the heart, which may cause it to expand to compensate for the inefficiency. This may result in ischemia (lack of oxygen to the heart muscle), causing parts of the heart to weaken and enlarge.

However, an echocardiogram is a different test, also conducted for heart activity. An electrocardiogram is a machine used to record the heart's electrical activity. Electrocardiogram, echocardiogram, and some other tests are done for patients with cardiac arrest. ECG machine can also help diagnose coronary artery disease.
