  1. Rate = 75, Rhythm = Regularly Iregular (b/c of PVC's), Left Axis Deviation, St Seg Depression in V4 - V6 with symemetrical T wave inversions in v3 - v6
    For me = = > ACS
    Send Cardiac Troponins

  2. Sinus; PVCs; LAD; anterior symmetric T wave inversion - and almost "Wellens"-like in V2,V3 - so patient will probably need cath in short order (looking for a tight LAD lesion ...).

    P.S. - THANKS for improving the quality of the ECG! - :)
