Smith comment: This patient did not have a bedside ultrasound. Had one been done, it would have shown a feature that is apparent on this ultrasound (however, this patient's LV function would not be as good as in this clip): This is recorded with the LV on the right. What should be done? Should the cath lab be activated?

He arrived in the ED and had an immediate bedside cardiac ultrasound while this ECG was being recorded. The bedside ultrasound (video not available) reportedly showed only a slightly reduced LV function. A regular wide complex tachycardia in a young patient with no history of heart disease is very likely to be AVRT.

However the patient continued to have chest pain and bedside ultrasound showed hypokinesis of the septum with significantly reduced LVEF. Possible mechanisms of ventricular arrhythmias elicited by ischemia followed by reperfusion. Am Heart J 1999;137:799–805. Fortunately the patient was then taken for angiography. Moffat, M.

Normally, concavity in ST segments suggests absence of anterior ischemia (though concavity by itself is not reassuring - see this study ). His ED cardiac ultrasound (which is not at all ideal for detecting wall motion abnormalities, and is also very operator dependent for this finding) was significant for depressed global EF.

A bedside cardiac ultrasound was performed with a parasternal long axis view demonstrated below: There is a large pericardial effusion with collapse of the right ventricle during systole. Alternation in ST segment appearance ( or in the amount of ST elevation or depression ) — is often linked to ischemia. She has already had syncope.
