A male in his 40's who had been discharged 6 hours prior after stenting of an inferoposterior STEMI had sudden severe SOB at home 2 hours prior to calling 911. He was in acute distress from pulmonary edema, with a BP of 180/110, pulse 110. Is this acute STEMI? Is this an acute STEMI? -- Unlikely! He had no chest pain.

link] Briefly, this woman without significant cardiac history went into pulmonary edema with respiratory failure. In this case, the ECG never mimicked a STEMI. I will proceed to post a couple cases in which SCM does mimic STEMI.

She had acute pulmonary edema on exam. Prehospital Conventional algorithm interpretation: ANTERIOR INFARCT, STEMI Transformed ECG by PM Cardio: PM Cardio AI Bot interpretation: OMI with High Confidence What do you think? On arrival, lung ultrasound confirmed pulmonary edema (B lines).

for those of you who do not do Emergency Medicine, ECGs are handed to us without any clinical context) The ECG was read simply as "No STEMI." He was started on a heparin drip and CTA of the chest was ordered to rule out pulmonary embolism. Echocardiogram showed severe RV dilation with McConnell’s sign and an elevated RVSP.

He visited an outpatient clinic for it and an echocardiogram and exercise stress test was normal. On his physical examination, cardiac and pulmonary auscultation was completely normal. Bi-phasic scan showed no dissection or pulmonary embolism. Take home messages: 1- In STEMI/NSTEMI paradigm you search for STE on ECG.

Thus, this is both an anterior and inferior STEMI. How old is this antero-inferior STEMI? Although acute anterior STEMI frequently has narrow QR-waves within one hour of onset (1. Armstrong et al.)], the presence of such well developed anterior Q-wave suggests completed transmural STEMI. Could it be acute (vs.
