Solid case. 70s male started having 10/10 chest pressure whi | Figure 1
Case Summary
Solid case. 70s male started having 10/10 chest pressure while sitting down. Half hour until our arrival and in the mean time he took ASA and 2 sprays of nitro. First 12 lead was 5 minutes after our arrival and the 15 lead was about a minute after that. Nothing from us to slow the rate down. Last 12 lead was just prior to departure. History of a completely blocked coronary artery with no stent and from these EKGs it appears to be RCA. Thoughts?
