His ECG is shown below. How does RCA occlusion fit with the ECG? The answer is that the ECG really shows right ventricular OMI. We've highlighted a considerable number of acute RV MI cases in Dr. Smith's ECG Blog ( See the October 7, 2019 and May 10, 2024 posts , to name just two ). There is non-obstructive disease here.

ECG: to monitor T wave changes due to hypokalaemia. ECG features of Hypokalaemia: Increased P wave amplitude (peaked P waves) Prolonged PR interval Widespread ST depression T wave flattening or inversion Prominent U waves (most noticeable in the precordial leads) Figure 2 : ECG of a patient with serum K+ of 1.9

1,4-5 Thus, an electrocardiogram (ECG) and cardiac monitoring should be performed for unstable, electrical injury patients. Treatment for burns should focus on fluid resuscitation as appropriate based on your institution’s burn protocol per Brooke, Parkland, Rule of 10s etc. His ECG was unremarkable. Am J Emerg Med.

This patient’s syncope is most likely due to metabolic disruptions and fluid-status physiology; nevertheless, assessment of cardiogenic etiologies through an EKG, troponin, and cardiac risk factors should be considered as appropriate.

Fluid resuscitation was initiated. Here is the initial ED ECG: What do you think? The ECG shows peaked T waves, QRS widening, a coved-type ST segment with inverted T waves most prominent in V1 and V2 consistent with Brugada pattern. They opined that the ECG could instead be "metabolic." Creatinine elevated at 3.09
