Seventy-nine year old woman who five days prior to this electrocardiogram experienced acute onset chest discomfort

Clinical History  37

Seventy-nine year old woman who five days prior to this electrocardiogram experienced acute onset chest discomfort and an electrocardiogram consistent with an acute inferior myocardial infarction. Following her myocardial infarction convalescence a cardiac catheterization demonstrated severe three-vessel coronary artery disease. This electrocardiogram was obtained prior to anticipated coronary artery bypass graft surgery. Left ventriculography at the time of her cardiac catheterization demonstrated proximal and mid inferior wall akinesis. Her medications included metoprolol, intravenous heparin, intravenous nitroglycerin andtemazepam.
