Aortic dissection
Raised JVP
Right sided HF
A sense of impending doom
MI
ECG - Saddle shaped ST elevation
Pericarditis
Broad complex tachycardia
ventricular Failure
Pan-Diastolic murmur
Mitral regurgitation, tricuspid regurgitation, or ventricular septal defect

Mitral Stenosis
Broad QRS with slurred upstroke on R wave (delta wave).
