He was intubated in the field and sedated upon arrival at the hospital. This was interpreted by the treating clinicians as not showing any evidence of ischemia. Echocardiogram showed LVEF 66% with normal wall motion and normal diastolic function. They shocked him twice before return of spontaneous circulation.

It should be known that each category can easily manifest the generic subendocardial ischemia pattern. In general, subendocardial ischemia is a consequence of global supply-demand mismatch that usually ameliorates upon addressing, and mitigating, the underlying cause. What’s interesting is that the ECG can only detect ischemia.

His response: “subendocardial ischemia. Smith : It should be noted that, in subendocardial ischemia, in contrast to OMI, absence of wall motion abnormality is common. See this case: what do you think the echocardiogram shows in this case? Anything more on history? POCUS will be helpful.” J Electrocardiol 2013;46:240-8 2.

However, an echocardiogram is a different test, also conducted for heart activity. Patients use them to observe their heart activity by themselves when they are not in the hospital. Electrocardiogram, echocardiogram, and some other tests are done for patients with cardiac arrest. ECG and EKG refer to the same thing.

My interpretation was: RBBB with hyperacute T-waves in V4-V6 that are all but diagnostic of LAD occlusion vs. post ROSC ischemia. Formal Echocardiogram: Normal left ventricular size and wall thickness. The patient had ROSC and maintained it. A 12-lead ECG was obtained: What do you think?

The patient was promptly admitted to the hospital for further evaluation. A rapid echocardiogram was performed, revealing an ejection fraction of 20% with thinning of the anterior-apical walls. An initial electrocardiogram (ECG) is provided below. What do you think? What is the rhythm? The rate is 132 bpm.

The ECG shows sinus tachycardia with RBBB and LAFB, without clear additional superimposed signs of ischemia. Hopefully a repeat echocardiogram will be performed outpatient. Between 81-95% of life-threatening ventricular dysrhythmias and acute cardiac failure occur within 24-48 hours of hospitalization. No cardiac MRI was done.
