A man in his 30s with chest pain and a normal bedside echo, without wall motion abnormality
In conclusion — our THANKS to Drs. Nicacio and Meyers for presenting today ' s case. As interesting as I found the initial ECG to be — the KEY point in today ' s case is that identification of suspicious (albeit indefinite) ECG findings in this patient with typical unrelieved chest pain merited timely cath (which was done within 15 minutes of ED presentation) — and this confirmed the need for prompt revascularization.
