A 30-something with h/o DM and HTN presents with CP and SOB and cough. The ECG is rather classic for pulmonary embolism, and indeed this was a large acute PE. This is a classic S1Q3T3. Most S1Q3T3 is not due to PE. This one is far more specific, as it is combined with sinus tachycardia and some T-wave inversion in V1-V3. So this entire ECG is very high probability for PE in a patient with acute dyspnea.
