Episode description
Author: Peter Bakes, MD
Educational Pearls:
- Pericarditis, LBBB, LVH and left ventricular aneurysms can all present with ST elevation.
- Ventricular aneurysm will present days after a cardiac event with ST elevation and Q waves in the affected leads.
- Ventricular aneurysms may cause papillary muscle dysfunction with a resultant holosystolic murmur and even heart failure.
