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

Dr. Smith's ECG Blog

The diagnostic coronary angiogram identified only minimal coronary artery disease, but there was a severely calcified, ‘immobile’ aortic valve. DISCUSSION: The 12-lead EKG EMS initially obtained for this patient showed severe ischemia, with profound "infero-lateral" ST depression and reciprocal ST elevation in lead aVR.

Cardiovascular Reactivity to Mental Stress and Adverse Cardiovascular Outcomes in Patients With Coronary Artery Disease

Journal of the American Heart Association

Hemodynamic reactivity, changes in endothelial function, and vasoconstriction during mental stress were evaluated using changes in ratepressure product, brachial artery flowmediated vasodilation, and peripheral arterial tonometry, respectively. A total of 629 participants were included.

Understanding an Enlarged Heart (Cardiomegaly): Causes, Symptoms, and Treatment

MIBHS

Dilation: The chambers of the heart expand, making the walls thinner. Both forms of enlargement may compromise the heart’s ability to pump blood efficiently, leading to further complications like heart failure. What Causes an Enlarged Heart? Here are some of the most common causes: 1.
