This is a value typical for a large subacute MI, n ormal value 48 hours after myocardial infarction is associated with Post-Infarction Regional Pericarditis ( PIRP ). Mechanical complications secondary to myocardial infarction are infrequent due to most patients receiving revascularization quite rapidly.

He also had a history of chronic kidney disease, stage III. Angio had shown some acute disease in the saphenous vein graft to the posterior descending artery off of the RCA. Here is his ED ECG: There is obvious infero-posterior STEMI. What are you worried about in addition to his STEMI? If the patient is at 1.8,

The relationship between salvage index and myocardial blush grade was shown in figure 2. Methods:STEMI patients who underwent coronary revascularization therapy and cardiac magnetic resonance (CMR) at about 4 days and 6 months between 2017 and 2023 were included. The relationship between salvage index and FSF was shown in figure1.

Smith: T waves are very hyperacute: these are a sign of ACUTE infarction, even if there are Q-waves. 50% of LAD STEMI have Q-waves by one hour. Smith : In limb leads, the ST vector is towards lead II (STE lead II STE lead III, which is more likely with pericarditis than with STEMI). See Raitt et al.:
