The ECG in Figure-1 was obtained from a previously healthy 30-ish year old man — who presented to medical attention for vasovagal syncope. Based on this initial ECG — the patient was transferred to a PCI-capable center: Do YOU agree with the need for transfer? Figure-1: The initial ECG in today's case.

The ECG in Figure-1 — was obtained from a patient with palpitations. Figure-1: The initial ECG in today's case. My Interpretation of the ECG in Figure-1: Since the patient is hemodynamically stable — there is time for systematic assessment of the rhythm. Figure-2: I've labeled the initial ECG in today's case. Figure-2 ).

The following ECG was obtained. Note that the machine read is "normal sinus rhythm, normal ECG." ECG 1 What do you think? I sent this ECG to Dr. Smith and Dr. Meyers with no clinical context. Smith comment: this troponin alone should be enough data to activate the cath lab, regardless of the ECG. <0.049 ng/mL).

Triage ECG: What do you think? It's a very "fun" ECG, with initial ectopic atrial tachycardia (negative P waves in inferior leads conducting 1:1 with the QRSs), followed by spontaneous resolution to sinus rhythm. See more posts on the atrial repolarization wave: K. This situation has been named "Emery phenomenon."

Patient 1 (ECG on the left) was a 45 year-old male, and patient 2 (ECG is on the right) was a 70 year-old male. Using T wave amplitude, can you tell which ECG has hyperacute T waves? What other parts of the ECG would you like to see, and how will you use this to refine your interpretation?

That's because this patient has clinical, ECG and Troponin evidence that an acute event did in fact occur ( ie, a more than doubling of Troponin in the context of a changing pattern of CP that correlates temporally with "dynamic" ECG changes — therefore strongly suggesting transient acute occlusion regardless of cath findings in today's case ).

He had an ECG recorded: What do you think? Fortunately, there was an ECG from about a year prior: And here is one from about 10 years prior: You can see here that the computer says "suggests pericarditis" but that I changed it to early repolarization. Figure-2: The first 2 ECGs shown in this case ( See text ).
