Echocardiography – We can use ultrasound to visualize the heart and look at how well it pumps. With time, fat and cholesterol can get trapped in the areas of wear and tear and cause plaque formation. The plaques can damage us in 2 ways. This is termed as diastolic dysfunction. You can only diagnose it in retrospect.

As in all ischemia interpretations with OMI findings, the findings can be due to type 1 AMI (example: acute coronary plaque rupture and thrombosis) or type 2 AMI (with or without fixed CAD, with severe regional supply/demand mismatch essentially equaling zero blood flow). Now another, with ultrasound. What is the Diagnosis?
