There’s subtle inferior ST elevation with straightening of the ST segment, reciprocal ST depression and T wave inversion in aVL, and ST depression in V2. This is diagnostic of infero-posterior OMI, but it is falsely n...

Evaluation of Prosthetic Aortic Valve Obstruction
This discussion will focus beyond the basic clinical evaluation, ECG, chest X-ray and hematological workup. Hematological workup is important in aortic valve obstruction because of likelihood of associated hemolytic anemia and acquired von Willebrand Syndrome. Former is due to destruction of red blood cells across the narrowed aortic valve, and latter due to loss of the largest multimers of von Willebrand factor. High shear stress across the narrowed aortic valve exposes a region of the von Willebrand factor which is susceptible to a specific von Willebrand protease. This can lead on to gastrointestinal angiodysplasia (He...
