Check this one out!!
52 Y/O male comes to the ED due to chest pain with radiation and SOB. What Do you see in the EKG, what is the leading cause of death, and what emergent treatment should be done???

Very interesting. I like the emphases on a proper history and that ECG alone can not be used as a diagnosis. Good case.

ST elevation V5 with reciprocal V1, to Vtach, to poss torsades, to vfib. Tx with ACLS, CPR/epi/amiodarone/defibrillation, consider Mg if vfib persists or torsades returns . Cause of death L lateral MI.
This is sooo much better than biochem….

Hey Chris! I agree, but the ability to understand the path and bring it down to the level of biochem is a skill that will allow you to crush Step!! Remember that the leading cause of death for a person with an Mi is the arrhythmia.
