چکیده
CASE 1 CLINICAL PRESENTATION A 54-year-old woman with a history of dyslipidaemia was admitted with shortness of breath following an upper respiratory tract infection and a stressful argument with her husband on the morning of her admission. Her symptoms progressively worsened and she was subsequently intubated in the emergency department. She was transferred to our hospital due to an abnormal electrocardiogram (ECG). What are the ECG abnormalities seen in Fig. 1? Non-ischaemic causes of ST segment elevation

ST-elevation in patient with vasovagal syncope
We describe a case of a 68-year-old man with known ischaemic heart disease, who passed out after nitroglycerine administration. He had triple-vessel ischaemic heart disease and had suffered from myocardial infarction about 17 years prior to this incident. An ECG revealed ST-segment elevation in the anterior leads. The elevations lasted at least 40 minutes and no longer than 60 minutes. No tropo...
متن کاملElectrocardiographic left ventricular hypertrophy is not associated with increased in-hospital adverse events in patients experiencing first non-ST segment elevation myocardial infarction: A single center study
Background: There is conflicting data about prognostic implication of electrocardiographic (ECG) left ventricular hypertrophy (LVH) in patients with first non- ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (NSTEMI). We aimed to examine the association of left ventricular hypertrophy (LVH) on admission electrocardiogram with adverse outcomes in patients with NSTEMI. Methods: In the present study, ...

Background & Objective: Patients with ischemic heart disease classified to two major groups: patients with stable angina and patients with Acute Coronary Syndrome (ACS). Previous studies showed that posterior segment of left ventricle is a silent segment on ECG, and routine 12 leads electrocardiogram (ECG) is not sensitive for evaluation of posterior infarction. This study designed for evaluati...

OBJECTIVES We sought to determine the outcomes of patients with cardiogenic shock (CS) complicating non-ST-segment elevation acute myocardial infarction (MI). BACKGROUND Such patients represent a high-risk (ST-segment depression) or low-risk (normal or nonspecific electrocardiographic findings) group for whom optimal therapy, particularly in the setting of shock, is unknown. METHODS We asse...
