New onset chest discomfort with demonstrable Hyperacute T waves that went undetected by EMS, EM, and cardiology.


Case review presentation:


Learning Objectives

  • Hyperacute T waves are disproportionately large in comparison to their paired QRS, and represent Grade I Sclarovsky-Birnbaum ischemia.

  • Diffuse / global ST depression is consistent with subendocardial ischemia (supply-demand mismatch) when maximal in Leads II and V5. Consider a focal reciprocal change when maximal depression is elsewhere.


Below is the link for detailed review on the hyperacute T wave (with expert commentary by Dr. Steve Smith).

The Action Games at Freewebgamescategory have plenty of potential for players who enjoy turning basic skills into mastery. An easy-to-understand game can still have plenty of depth. Once you've learned the basic controls, you can start working on more advanced movement, better timing, and more efficient strategies.
