Patient 2 A man in his 50s with history of CAD and prior PCI, diabetes, presented with acute constant chest pain for the past few hours.

The purpose of this report is to use propensity score matching to determine gender-specific differences in clinical outcomes after percutaneous coronary interventions with polymer-free sirolimus-coated stents. In the unmatched STEMI subgroup, all-cause mortality was significantly higher in females driven by older age (P < 0.001).

This 57 yo diabetic male presented with generalized fatigue, myalgias, and arthralgias , mild subjective fever and chills, and nausea. This 42 yo diabetic male presented with cough and foot pain. An open 90% LAD was stented. Preservation of R-wave may mean and initial Q-wave followed by an R-wave (this is called a QR-wave.

Intra-procedural data included access route, coronary anatomy, lesion complexity, number of stents deployed, door-to-balloon time for primary PCI, and any intra-procedural complications. and the average number of stents 2.6. The radial approach was used in 544/567 (95.94%), the average SYNTAX score was 34.8 ± 9.6,

These elevations meet STEMI criteria ( ≥ 1mm in 2 contiguous leads). While this may be change that is reciprocal to an Acute/Subacute Inferior STEMI, the problem is that LV aneurysm may also manifest with this reciprocal change. In STEMI, they are generally upright and large in proportion to the QRS. This case is tough.
