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

…left coronary cusp (LCC), and noncoronary cusp (NCC), showing the same branches as in panel A for cross modality comparison. Clinical features Occlusion of the…

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

…alleviate ischemic chest pain may lead to hemodynamic collapse in patients with right ventricular ischemia or infarction. Recognizing ECG signs of right ventricular involvement is…

Vulnerable Plaque and Mechanisms of Acute Coronary Occlusion

…hypertension with or without left ventricular hypertrophy. Among patients with NSTE ACS undergoing angiography, approximately 10% have no critical epicardial stenosis. In some of these…

Cardiac thromboembolism: cardiac sources of embolism

…a cerebral artery is occluded due to local atherothrombosis or occlusion due to embolization. Approximately 30% of all ischemic strokes are caused by cardiac embolism…

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…

The ECG in assessment of myocardial reperfusion

…inversion of the T waves. These T waves are called post ischemic T waves and they indicate that the infarction process is more or less…

Regional Myocardial Contractile Function: Wall Motion Abnormalities

…occur when atherosclerotic plaques rupture or erode, leading to atherothrombosis and occlusion. This causes severe ischemia and the vast majority of patients experience angina pectoris…

ST-Elevation Myocardial Infarction Complicated by Cardiogenic Shock

…abrupt reduction in coronary blood flow caused by thrombotic occlusion of a previously atherosclerotic artery. Plaque erosion or rupture exposes thrombogenic material to circulating blood…

Percutaneous Coronary Intervention for Chronic Total Occlusions: Indications and Outcomes
