Pulmonary Embolism (PE)

…veins of the legs or pelvis. Thrombi formed in the deep veins in the legs or pelvis can detach and flow via inferior vena cava…

ECG localization of myocardial infarction / ischemia and coronary artery occlusion (culprit)

…artery that supplies the PDA (posterior descending coronary artery), which supplies the inferior wall of the left ventricle, determines the coronary artery dominance ( Figure 1 …

ST elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) without ST elevations on 12-lead ECG

…occur simultaneously (if both territories are affected by the same artery occlusion). Approximately 30% of patients with posterolateral infarction will also have right ventricular infarction…

The left ventricle in myocardial ischemia and infarction

…a proximal occlusion (in the RCA) which cuts off blood flow to the right ventricle, will also affect the inferior wall of the left ventricle…

Posterior acute myocardial infarction (STEMI)

…As mentioned above, posterior myocardial infarction may be accompanied by inferior infarction if the occlusion affects both vascular territories. This will result in ST segment…

Posterior Myocardial Infarction: Diagnosis on the Standard ECG

…may manifest as reciprocal ST segment depression rather than apparent ST segment elevation. Posterior involvement is commonly associated with inferior or lateral myocardial infarction. Consequently…

Acute stroke and thrombolysis: quick reference

…The standard investigation in acute stroke to identify large vessel occlusion, dissection or other vascular pathology CT perfusion Used with an unclear time of onset…

ECG manifestations of left main coronary artery (LMCA) occlusion and critical stenosis

…including acute occlusions, subtotal stenoses, and discusses associated clinical presentations, prognostic implications, and management strategies. In the GRACE ECG substudy of 5000 patients with non…

Vulnerable Plaque and Mechanisms of Acute Coronary Occlusion

…myocardial necrosis. It most commonly reflects atherothrombosis: disruption of an atherosclerotic plaque followed by platelet activation and coagulation, with formation of an intraluminal thrombus. The…

A New Approach to Acute Coronary Syndromes: Occlusion MI (OMI) vs. Non-Occlusion MI (NOMI)

…reperfusion therapy. This approach fails to identify a substantial proportion of patients with acute coronary occlusion (ACO) who present without diagnostic ST elevation, often resulting…
