Here’s another EKG to get you guys talking. Thank you Dr. Silverberg and Dr. Brown for the case.
73 chinese female h/o dm, htn and high cholesterol had syncopal episode. Felt heart racing and palpitations prior to passing out at bingo in her church. Only complaint now is slight chest pain that is similar in nature to what she felt prior to today’s syncope only it was worse then. Vitals: hypertensive but the rest normal including the physical.
What’s the diagnosis?
What’s your management?
