The ECG in Figure-1 was obtained from a man in his 40s — who presented to the ED ( E mergency D epartment ) because of CP ( C hest P ain ) and shortness of breath. QUESTIONS: In view of the above history — How would YOU interpret the ECG in Figure-1 ? Based on the history and the patient's initial ECG — the cath lab was activated. Do you agree? Figure-1: The initial ECG in today's case. ( To improve visualization — I've digitized the original ECG using PMcardio ).

The ECG shows massively hyperacute T waves of LAD OMI, plus WPW. V3-V5 also have the depressed HATW takeoff which qualifies them as the rare de Winter subtype of HATWs. Its hard to measure the STE in I exactly with the moving baseline, but there is almost certainly not enough STE to meet STEMI criteria.
