2013 EKG/ECG EMS

EMS obtained the following vital signs: pulse 50, respiratory rate 16, blood pressure 96/49. It appears EMS obtained two EKGs, but unfortunately these were not saved in the medical record. The EMS crew was only BLS certified, so EKG interpretation is not within their scope of practice.

The ECG in Figure-1 was obtained from an elderly man with a history of coronary disease — who contacted EMS for "burning" chest discomfort that woke him at 3am. QUESTIONS: How would YOU interpret the initial ECG in today's case? In view of the above history — Does ECG #1 suggest an acute event?

We’ll keep it short, while you keep that EM brain sharp. A 74-year-old female with a past medical history of hypertension, diabetes, recent basilar artery stent placement with a 20 pack-year smoking history presents to the ED via EMS for altered mental status and episodes of apnea.

EMS arrived and recorded this ECG: What do you think? See same ECG below with computer automated interpretation, using the Glasgow ECG algorithm which apparently is used by many different providers and devices Amazing that the computer calls this normal. Next day ECG. And yet it still says "normal".

Written by Pendell Meyers I was reading ECGs in a database (without any clinical information) when I came to this one: What do you think? Seeing only this ECG with no context, I thought this ECG was within normal limits. So, if I had to interpret this ECG with no other context, I would say I see no clear evidence of OMI.
