mm has been described in normal subjects) Overall impression: In my opinion and experience, this ECG most likely represents a normal baseline ECG, but with a small chance of pericarditis instead. I texted this to Dr. Smith without any information, and this was his reply: "This could be pericarditis but probably is normal variant."

06:44 - T-waves in V2 are smaller now - Overall resolution of prior findings (which qualifies as a dynamic change) The initial note by the cardiologist states that the presentation is more consistent with pericarditis. Remember, pericarditis is the thing you say and write down when youre actively trying to miss an OMI.

His disease included 70% prox LAD, 80% distal LAD, 10% in-stent stenosis in the distal LCX, 70% OM1, 70% OM2, and 60% prox RCA. Triage ECG: It was interpreted as lateral STEMI, and he was sent to the cath lab, where the angiogram showed unchanged CAD from known prior, with no acute culprit. Three troponins were undetectable.

This rules out pericarditis, which essentially never has reciprocal ST depression. The patient had a critical LAD stenosis. This is not pericarditis because: a. Pericarditis does not have reciprocal depression. ST elevation of pericarditis is maximal in leads II and V5, V6. He underwent CABG. Conclusions: 1.

Aortography confirmed a normal course of coronary arteries, with adequate perfusion of essential branches and no evidence of stenosis or aneurysms. Additionally, a complication of pericarditis cannot be entirely ruled out. Cardiac magnetic resonance imaging revealed an akinetic aneurysm of the LV apex with a full-wall ischemic scar.

The primary safety endpoint was incidence of early onset (within seven days) primary adverse events; atrio-esophageal fistula (within 90 days); cardiac tamponade or perforation (within 30 days); and PV stenosis (within 12 months).

There were no incidences of adverse event fistula, diaphragmatic paralysis, MI, pericarditis, thromboembolism, PV stenosis, transient ischemic attack, or death. Eighty patients (98%) underwent remapping.
