FU for 43 yo male with AMI/STEMI. The first 12-lead shows ST-elevations septal, anterior & lateral leads. The 2nd 12-lead was taken after Stent placements in LAD & LCx and confirms Anteroseptal Infarct. The last 12-lead was taken the day after reperfusion. Apologies for the poor Dx quality of the last EKG.

Elderly male presented to medics with "chest pressure" after going out to dinner with family. Pt alert, oriented and stable.

No shocks ever delivered by internal defib and no meds given in the field. Follow up revealed pt's defibrillator never went off because it's set to go off at 150BPM, pt remained between 130-140bpm.
