EKG
What is the next step in the management of this patient?

Coronary Angiogram
EKG shows a STEMI
What area of myocardium is affected?


Non-contrast CT Chest
b/c the abdominlal & bilateral femoral bruits - pointing toward AAA & can’t see on TTE
What is the current working diagnosis with the information given?
What risk stratification score should you calculate?

Acute Coronary Syndrome
(includes STEMI, NSTEMI, Unstable Angina)
Risk: HEART

Admit to rule out myocardial infarction
Here are some Key points!

Occlusion of the following arteries leads to what type of MI?
LAD
RCA
LCx
Where is the thrombosis?

LAD- anterior
Most notably: V2,3,4
V3: “tombstoning”
Most likely diagnosis?

Pericarditis – you have pan ST elevations (diffuse ST elevations)
What is the rhythm?

second degree atriventricular block type 1 (or unknown)
can tell that it is bradycardic
is it a regular rhythm (R-R)? - kind of, but then have one beat that comes a little earlier & then it returns to regular- slightly irregular
is there a P before every QRS? - yes, then long PR, then really prolonged & returned to regular and then started dropping again. A lot of Ps are beign dropped
untypeable b/c if it is 2:1 conduction, you can’t tell if the P-R is elongating
Irregularity in the rhythm of an EKG rules out what type of block?
third degree - always regular
Adenosine (rapid IVP) is considered an atrioventricular blocking agent, which rhythm woudl you give it for?
A regular tachycardic rhythm with a QRS less than 120
means it supraventriculat, which is why you can give them AV-nodal blocking agent
Blood pressure 85/40, chest pain onset 1 hour ago, next best step?
synchronized cardioversion
