We recently fixed the email link (you'll note it more prominently near the top in the right column) — so you could try to resend your question/comment. I became Associate Editor in 2018 — and I've been addressing many of the questions over recent months. You could copy me if you resend your email ( = My Email = ekgpress@mac.com) — BE SURE to include the specific ECG post (ie, Jan 16, 2016) — and optimally add the link = http://hqmeded-ecg.blogspot.com/2016/01/a-patient-who-could-have-been-saved.html — and I promise I'll promptly respond! Sorry for any delay in getting back to you. With nearly 16 million "hits" on this blog — some stuff can get misplaced ... — THANKS for your support! — :)ECG Interpretationhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02309020028961384995noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-549949223388475481.post-3432050411921410242020-03-07T11:43:42.778-06:002020-03-07T11:43:42.778-06:00Is this e-mail functional.

This EKG is obvious. LBBB or not. The morphology of the St segments in v2-v4 to me are very alarming. V4 actually was the first thing I noticed. Lead 1 and avl also have concordant st elevation. Sadly, I have had many situations like this. You try to convince someone of obvious pathology on an ekg and they won't listen. Sounds like this woman paid the price. Steve, I have 2 ekg's I would like to send you. They demonstrate another a situation just like this. Luckily, the patient lived. Thank you for your continued dedication to providing the rest of us with quality education.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08310055855499420030noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-549949223388475481.post-69739290880410806072016-01-16T10:59:05.574-06:002016-01-16T10:59:05.574-06:00Nicolas,
