Q

A 40 year old man with central chest heaviness for 4 hrs with sweating. His ECG:
1. Interpret the the ECG:
2. What is the pathophysiology?

A
  1. Anterior ST elevation MI
  2. An atherosclerotic plaque develops on the wall of the artery, if this plaque has a thin fibrous cap, it is more likely to rupture, triggering platelet aggregation and formation of a platelet-rich clot that totally occludes the vessel. Vasoconstriction also occurs due to platelet release of serotonin and thromboxane. This all results in ischemia and eventually infarction of the myocardial tissue.
