Here is his ED ECG at triage: Obvious high lateral OMI that does not quite meet STEMI criteria. He had a previous ECG on file: Proving the findings are new The cath lab was activated. Another ECG was recorded after the nitroglycerine and now without pain: All findings are resolved. No other symptoms.
