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). CT angiogram showed extensive saddle pulmonary embolism.

He was admitted for monitoring, as his risk of a ventricular dysrhythmia as cause of the syncope is high ( very high due to HFrEF and ischemic cardiomyopathy ). Nevertheless, I don't think a thrombosis related type I MI was ruled out here simply because the patient refused further evaluation. The ECG is simply not optimally accurate.
