Assess Initial 12-Lead
ECG
 Classify patients with acute ischemic chest
pain into 1 of 3 ECG classification groups:
STEMI
NSTEMI / UA
Nondiagnostic or Normal
A&E(VINAYAKA)
….ECG
• STEMI
ST elevation / presumed new LBBB 0.1mv or
1mm in 2 or more contiguous precordial leads or
2 or more adjacent limb leads.
•UA/NSTEMI
ST dep ≥ 0.5 mm (0.05mv) or dynamic T
inversions with pain or discomfort
Non-persistent or transient ST elevation
>0.5mm for less than 20 mins
•Nondiagnostic
ST deviation <0.5 mm or T inversions <0.2 mm
A&E(VINAYAKA)
“ J “ POINT
J point plus
0.04 second
PP baseline
ST-segment deviation
= 4.5 mm
The point at which the ST segment originates
from the QRS complex is called the J point
A&E(VINAYAKA)
ST-T Changes
A&E(VINAYAKA)
How to
identify LBBB
• Deep S wave in V1 and
a tall late R wave in
lead I and/or V6,wide QRS complexes
• WILLIAM
• Serial Cardiac markers for confirmation

CARDIAC MARKERS
• Limited role in case of diagnostic ST elevation in ECG
• Role in pts with nondiagnostic ECG changes
– Early diagnosis
– Missed MI
– Early risk stratification
Requires Serial Measurements rather than single (every 2-3
hours)
A&E(VINAYAKA)
…CARDIAC MARKERS
CK :
– Levels twice upper limit of
normal = abnormal
– Rises within 4-8hrs & falls
within 3-4 days
– False + results
CK-MB isoenzyme:
– More specific
– False +
AST : rise 18-36hrs post MI
LDH : rise 24-36hrs post MI
A&E(VINAYAKA)
…CARDIAC MARKERS
TROPONINS
 TnI more sensitive and specific in serial testing
& not at presentation.
 Starts to rise by 6 hrs & persists upto 7-10 days.
(diagnose late MI)
 Also elevated in myocarditis ,CM & pericarditis

PULMONARY EMBOLISM
Pulmonary embolism (PE) is a blockage of the pulmonary artery or one of its
branches,
usually occuring when a venous thrombus becomes dislodged from its site of
formation and
embolizes to the arterial blood supply of one of the lungs.
A&E(VINAYAKA)
FACTS
• > 50 % pts with DVT are associated with PE
• > 50 % cases do not have any signs or symptoms
• Common presentation can be unexplained tachycardia,
tachypnoea, hypoxemia or mere anxiety
• Diagnosis and suspicion is purely clinical

Investigations
• Angiography is gold standard
• Aortography-dissection in branch vessels,AV
incompetence
• Contrast problems and arranging the team
• USG Thorax/ TEE
• CT –fast with IV contrast.
preferred in unstable
• No details of branches

tracheal deviation,
• Intimal calcium sign.

Management
 Reduce BP-shearing force- negative inotrope
 Beta blocker- esmolol, metaprolol
 Esmolol 500 mic/kg bolus
maint 50-100 mics/kg/min
 Vasodilator-SNP- 0.3 mic/kg/min IV
 Immediate surgical referral
 Surgical exploration

A&E(VINAYAKA)
TAKE HOME MESSAGE
 Prompt aggressive control of ABC saves > 50% of cases
 Atypical presentations are common
 Chances of missed diagnosis is high
 Approach every chest pain as a life threatening disorder
 Serial monitoring is required
 GERD is a diagnosis of exclusion
