a leader in non-invasive artificial intelligence (AI) heart care solutions, introduced the next generation HeartFlow Plaque Analysis with an interactive experience. Having access to a patient’s whole coronary picture, with both quantified plaque and physiology, is a game changer as a clinician. F.A.C.C.

Although it is statistically unlikely, multiple plaque ruptures are possible. On intravascular ultrasound (IVUS), the mid RCA plaque was described as "cratered, inflamed, and bulky," and the OM plaque was described as "bulky with evidence of inflammation and probably ulceration." Additional findings: No ST elevation."

She had some very minor plaque but certainly nothing that could explain the heart attack and therefore she was discharged with a diagnosis of MINOCA i.e Genetics and physiological stress are also risk factors. She agreed and we performed an angiogram and we were fully expecting a blockage but interestingly there weren’t any.

This is an ultrasound (a bit like the type that we use on pregnant women to look at the baby). An ultrasound will allow you to visualise the heart, measure the sizes of the chambers, assess the heart valves and work out how well the heart functions as a pump. An echo is easy to do, risk free and easily accessible.

As in all ischemia interpretations with OMI findings, the findings can be due to type 1 AMI (example: acute coronary plaque rupture and thrombosis) or type 2 AMI (with or without fixed CAD, with severe regional supply/demand mismatch essentially equaling zero blood flow). Now another, with ultrasound. What is the Diagnosis?

They did not have an ultrasound on the ambulance (some local crews are starting to utilize POC limited US in our service areas). He was taken to the cath lab and underwent emergent intervention: Thrombotic stenosis of the proximal RCA (95% with evidence of plaque rupture) is the culprit for the patient's inferoposterior STEMI.
