The following ECG with ST elevation on VI V2 is associated with the diagnosis of
High-Yield Explanation
(A) Hyperkalemia # ST Elevation:> Most important cause of ST segment elevation is acute Ischemia.> Other causes are: Early repolarization Acute pericarditis: ST elevation in all leads except aVR Pulmonary embolism: ST elevation in V1 and aVR Hypothermia: ST elevation in V3-V6, II, III and aVF Hypertrophic cardiomyopathy: V3-V5 (sometimes V6) High potassium (hyperkalemia): V1-V2 (V3) During acute neurologic events: all leads, primarily V1-V6 Acute sympathetic stress: all leads, especially V1-V6 Brugada syndrome Cardiac aneurysm Cardiac contusion Left ventricular hypertrophy Idioventricular rhythm including paced rhythm
