He had previously undergone non‐contrasted head computed tomography (NCHCT) (magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) was unable to be performed secondary to pacemaker), which did not reveal strokes. His initial computed tomography angiogram (CTA) of the head and neck was unremarkable.
And finally, after placement of a stent in the LAD: Before and after: (Unfortunately, this resulted in the "jailing" of the septal branches behind the stent and probably some degree of plaque shift which is why they do not opacify well in the "after" shot. This was the cost of preventing infarction of the anterior wall.) ng/mL (ref.

Coronary artery disease Excessive cholesterol builds up plaque that blocks the arteries supplying blood to the heart. ECG testing is also carried out to see how medicines work during treatment and the pacemaker's functioning. This condition is also called atherosclerosis. ECG machine can also help diagnose coronary artery disease.
He received a permanent pacemaker during the subsequent inpatient stay. plaque disruption), the T waves still manifest markings of a previous state of suboptimal coronary flow that resolved: Type II supply-demand mismatch in the setting of extreme bradycardia. Hospital transport was unremarkable.
Some patients with pacemakers and metal prosthesis can’t be exposed to such strong magnetic fields. It is a super specialised discipline. It requires very expensive machinery. It is inherently uncomfortable for the patient as you have to lie in a tight tunnel for up to an hour. The problem with CT scanning is if you see something.
The ECG is diagnostic for acute transmural infarction of the anterior and lateral walls, with LAD OMI being the most likely cause (which has various potential etiologies for the actual cause of the acute coronary artery occlusion, the most common of which is of course type 1 ACS, plaque rupture with thrombotic occlusion).
2:34 PM, following right heart catheterization She then went into atrial fibrillation with complete heart block and junctional escape rhythm prompting placement of transvenous pacemaker. Mechanisms of plaque formation and rupture. Coronary plaque disruption. In the midst of this, she went into VF. link] Bentzon, J.
