Case Report: Kounis syndrome associated with urticaria following COVID-19 infection

Frontiers in Cardiovascular Medicine

An electrocardiogram demonstrated sinus rhythm with T-wave alterations and a V2R/S ratio greater than 1. Despite this, the patient went on to develop chest pain, which was accompanied by electrocardiographic signs of acute extensive anterior wall myocardial infarction and elevated troponin I levels.

ECG in LMCA Stenosis

All About Cardiovascular System and Disorders

Such a pattern is consistent with significant left main coronary artery stenosis. Angiography done after initial stabilization showed severe stenosis of distal left main coronary artery. ST segment elevation is noted in aVR. Clinical evaluation and X-Ray chest showed features of pulmonary edema. J Am Coll Cardiol. Engelen DJ et al.

Case Report: Kounis syndrome due to cryptopteran bite

Frontiers in Cardiovascular Medicine

Anaphylaxis leads to plaque rupture or erosion leading to acute myocardial infarction (type II) and acute coronary stent thrombosis (type III). Outside the hospital, electrocardiogram(ECG) showed sinus rhythm, ST-segment elevation in leads V1–V3, high-sensitivity troponin 2.54 ng/ml(0–0.5 ng/ml). ng/ml(0–0.5 ng/ml).

Case Report: A case report of myocardial fibrosis activation assessment after unstable angina using 68Ga-FAPI-04 PET/CT

Frontiers in Cardiovascular Medicine

The timely detection of myocardial fibrosis is crucial for intervention and improved outcomes. 68 Ga-FAPI-04 PET/CT shows promise in assessing fibroblast activation in patients with early myocardial infarction characterized by prolonged myocardial ischemia. The results demonstrated tracer-specific uptake (SUVmax = 4.6)

Headache as the sole clinical manifestation of acute myocardial infarction: one case with cardiac cephalalgia and literature review

Coronary Artery Disease Journal

Coronary computed tomography angiography (CTA) showed diffuse stenosis in the left anterior descending and the first diagonal branch arteries. Electrocardiogram (ECG) might not always show abnormalities, and chest pain is not always present. His headache improved after percutaneous coronary intervention.

Active chest pain. Fake? or Inferior OMI? Hyperacute T waves?

Dr. Smith's ECG Blog

Physician accuracy in interpreting potential ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction electrocardiograms. He had 50% stenosis of the LAD which was deemed not culprit, and all other vessels were normal. I believe there is not quite enough STE for formal STEMI criteria, but some might measure 1.0 Carley et al.

See how bad the outcome can be if you don't know OMI findings on the ECG, and don't use the Queen of Hearts

Dr. Smith's ECG Blog

Case A 43 year old male with a history of DM II, hyperlipidemia, and a family history of myocardial infarction presented to a family clinic with two days of epigastric pain that started after consuming a meal. The attending provider wrote “Agree with electrocardiogram interpretation”. Normal EKG”. Normal ECG.
