Here is his ED ECG: There is obvious infero-posterior STEMI. What are you worried about in addition to his STEMI? At cath, he immediately had incessant Torsades de Pointes requiring defibrillation 7 times and requiring placement of a transvenous pacer for overdrive pacing at a rate of 80. There is atrial fibrillation.

STEMI , ST-segment elevation acute myocardial infarction ). 1 Initial diagnosis of STEMI ECG Management Recommendation Level of evidence A 12-lead ECG should be interpreted immediately (within 10 minutes) at first medical contact. I B ECG monitoring should start immediately and a defibrillator must be ready.

She was found to be in ventricular fibrillation and was defibrillated 8 times without a single, even transient, conversion out of fibrillation. She was immediately intubated during continued compressions, then underwent a 9th defibrillation, which resulted in an organized rhythm at 42 minutes after initial arrest. see below).

She was never seen to be in ventricular fibrillation and was never defibrillated. Note that they finally have laid to rest the new or presumably new LBBB as a criteria for STEMI.

If it is STEMI, it would have to be RBBB with STEMI. Excerpted from Vutthikraivit et al: Acta Cardiol Sin 34:267-277, 2018 ). == Distinction is made between 2 types of Brugada ECG patterns: A B rugada - 1 ECG pattern — shows ≥2 mm coved ST elevation with sharp downslope plus T wave inversion in ≥2 anterior leads.

2) The STE in V1 and V2 has an R'-wave and downsloping ST segments, very atypical for STEMI. Cardiology was consulted and they agreed that the EKG had an atypical morphology for STEMI and did not activate the cath lab.

After epinephrine, atropine, and defibrillation x 2, there was a return of pulses. There is ST depression in II, III, and aVF that is concerning for reciprocal depression from high lateral STEMI in aVL, where there is some ST elevation. Plummer D et al. She collapsed and 911 was called; she was found pulseless.

A 12-lead was recorded, showing "STEMI," but is unavailable. Moreover, if you know that catastrophic intracranial hemorrhage can result in an ECG that mimics STEMI, then you know that this patient probably has a severe intracranial hemorrhage. She was BVM ventilated and suctioned. Shortly thereafter, pulses were lost.
