Echocardiogram Ischemia Ultrasound

Here is the EMS ECG: Obviously massive diffuse subendocardial ischemia, with profound STD and STE in aVR Of course this pattern is most often seen from etoliogies other than ACS. The ECG only tells you there is ischemia, not the etiology of it. What do you think the echocardiogram shows? NTG drip started. Pain better still.

Bedside cardiac ultrasound showed moderately decreased LV function. It should be kept in mind that on occasions, beta-one agonist can result in increased ventricular ectopy e.g., in severe myocardial ischemia (by increasing myocardial demand), or sometimes with congenital long-QT syndrome. She was intubated. J Am Coll Cardiol.

Smith comment: This patient did not have a bedside ultrasound. Had one been done, it would have shown a feature that is apparent on this ultrasound (however, this patient's LV function would not be as good as in this clip): This is recorded with the LV on the right. What should be done? Should the cath lab be activated?

One very useful adjunct is ultrasound: Echo of his heart can distinguish aneurysm from acute MI by presence of diastolic dyskinesis, but it cannot distinguish demand ischemia from ACS. Furthermore, notice the well-formed Q-waves in inferior leads. These must raise suspicion of old MI with persistent ST elevation.

1.196 x STE60 in V3 in mm) + (0.059 x computerized QTc) - (0.326 x RA in V4 in mm) Third, one can do an immediate cardiac ultrasound. A bedside ultrasound was done by an emergency physician and simultaneously read by a cardiologist. greater than 23.4 is likely anterior STEMI). LV aneurysm is very different for inferior vs. anterior MI.

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.

So today i wanted to talk to you about what each heart test tells us about these different aspects of heart disease Tests that tell you about the heart as a pump The most commonly used test to assess the heart as a pump is an echocardiogram. This is an ultrasound (a bit like the type that we use on pregnant women to look at the baby).
