Expert human ECG interpretation and/or the Queen of Hearts could have saved this patient's anterior wall

Dr. Smith's ECG Blog

The patient's laboratory studies revealed troponin mildly elevated at 25 ng/L but liver enzymes, lipase were normal. Gallbladder ultrasound was negative for stones. Here is the EM decision making: "The patient's EKG revealed some repolarization abnormalities but no clear signs of a STEMI. Chest x-ray was normal.

Three-Dimensional CT for Preprocedural Planning of PCI for Ostial Right Coronary Artery Lesions: A Randomized Controlled Pilot Trial

Circulation: Cardiovascular Interventions

The 3DCT scan was able to predict the calcium arc (P<0.0001) and minimal lumen area by intravascular ultrasound (P=0.003).CONCLUSIONS:Preprocedural The mean amount of procedural contrast (P<0.0001), mean radiation (P=0.03), and median procedure time (P=0.03) were significantly lower in the intervention group.
