An unprecedented two consecutive responses before Christopher! I'm on a roll! "Wellens' warning" would definitely be on the short list of differentials.
I'm starting to think this is turning into a competition between you and Christopher about who can comment first :-) I did just google the time difference between the USA and Australia to make sure no-one is setting their alarms for the middle of the night to claim first comment honours.
Axis: ~60 deg frontal, late R-wave transition. QTc: WNL Q-waves: visible in III, but appear to have respiratory variation ST/T-waves: 1mm ST-e in V2-V3, minimal ST-e in V1, biphasic T-waves in V2-V4 consistent with Type I Wellen's. T-wave inversions in the high laterals.
Given the presence of Wellen's Warning, I'd be concerned about a critical proximal LAD stenosis possibly with recent reperfusion. Patient should receive emergent angiography.
Measured against the TP segment there is no ST-e in III, measured against the PR segment there is maybe a sliver of ST-e, but nothing I'd call a STEMI over. There is some wander in the baseline likely related to the patient's respiratory rate.
Doesn't need a history this one unfortunately. I concur that its likely Mr Wellens paying a visit. Especially with the high lateral ischaemia going on in I and aVL.

ReplyDeleteHi Jason,
ReplyDeleteI agree with your 'warning'.

Guess I have to set my alarm earlier now ;)

Isn't there STE in III with reciprocal depression in I and aVL and therefore STEMI?
