Electrocardiogram Myocardial Infarction Stents 
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).

An open 90% LAD was stented. Here is the ECG the next AM: There was so little infarction that there are lateral, but no anterior reperfusion T-waves (normally, there would be Wellens' type waves after LAD reperfusion). Here is some older but very interesting literature on TIMI myocardial perfusion grade and ST resolution : 1.

The OM-1 was opened and stented, then the LAD was stented 3 days later. The acute infarct-related artery was off the circumflex and the affected wall was posterior (STEMI). The LAD had a 75% proximal lesion that by fractional flow reserve was hemodynamically significant. The posterior leads were falsely negative.

He was found to have a 100% circumflex lesion for which a bare metal stent was placed.

Interventional cardiology was consulted and patient was taken to the cath lab. References : 1.

Angiogram: Culprit Lesion (s): Thrombotic occlusion of the proximal RCA -- stented. Literature cited In inferior myocardial infarction, neither ST elevation in lead V1 nor ST depression in lead I are reliable findings for the diagnosis of right ventricular infarction Johanna E. Such an escape would have a wider complex.

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.
