There are also potential harms to large volume fluid resuscitation including progression of pancreatitis and fluid overload with or without respiratory failure. Though the initial recommendation for aggressive fluid resuscitation was not based on substantial evidence, clinicians have been slow to pivot away from this approach.

The LCx and OM branches are not as well seen. Yet recognition of acute RV MI is extremely important clinically — because emergency treatment will often require different priorities (ie, avoidance of nitroglycerine; fluid resuscitation for hypotension ). This shot is typically best for viewing the LAD and its diagonal branches.
