@smithECGBlog The angiography images in the case are not accurate. The first one supposedly before provocative testing shows a stented segment of the distal LCx. The second one shows a lesion or spasm in that area of the LCx. Hopefully they didn't treat vasospasm with PCI
I created these "Cheat sheets" for Non-ICU clinicians who may find themselves taking care of critically ill patients soon.
I kept them fairly basic and covered only topics pertinent to the current need. Inspired by @nickmmark#medtwitter#COVID19#CriticalCare#MedEd
@MKIttlesonMD Although I agree with your points, I would hardly say that control of risk factors w/ meds provides any guarantee against the "big one". Some patients do all the right things and end up unlucky.

RIMA explosion #ACCFIT never inject if the waveform is clearly dampened. Surprisingly the patient did well , No CP or any compromise. Respect the LIMA/RIMA ostia . They dissect easily!
@DavidLBrownMD@adnannadir Wouldn't giving an alpha agonist such as phenylephrine be problematic for the same reasons as the other catecholamines? Why not use vasopressin?
