Expanding Risk Factors
8.
At least 2of the following
1. Ischemic symptoms
2. Diagnostic ECG changes
3. Serum cardiac marker elevations
How to diagnose?
9.
Gradual onset ofsevere crushing
retrosternal diffuse chest pain with
gripping in character, radiating to
jaw, neck and left arm, aggravating
with exertion and associated with
sweating and nausea/vomiting.
Ischemic Symptoms
A 62 yearsold male with known history of Obesity,
HTN, DM presented with gradual onset of severe
crushing chest pain starting from last 2 hours, radiating
to jaw, neck and left arm. Pain was associated with
sweating.
With these symptoms patient came to E/R and you
quickly examined the patient.
Pulse: 120 bpm
BP: 150/90 mmHg
RR: 18 breaths per minute.

AVNRT
Usually paroxysmalin nature
Most common of PSVTs, accounting for
two- third of cases.
Most common in women.
Familial AVNRT has been reported
ECG features

RegularNarrow complex tachycardia
No Visible P waves
P waves are retrograde and inverted in II, III
and AVF
P waves are buried in QRS complex
(Descending limb of R wave)

A 28 yearsold female, works in HBL. She presented with
sudden onset of racing heart after taking half cup of
Capuchino coffee. Moreover she feels dizziness associated
with sweating.
She has history of similar kind of event in last month but
relieved spontaneously, but at this time she has these
symptoms for an hour.
She came to E/R and you quickly examined the patient.
Pulse: > 150 bpm
BP: 120/80 mmHg
RR: 20 breaths per minute.
CNS: Grossly intact
