Notice also the very small LV cavity size at both diastole and systole (poor LV filling with good contractility) and apparent low stroke volume. The RV was small and IVC empty, making pulmonary embolism extremely unlikely. This is very good evidence that the ST elevation is not due to STEMI. So there is poor LV filling.
