Previous Case: McGill Case 279 | Next Case: McGill Case 281

The recording shows atrial fibrillation with wide spread ST depressions suggestive of ischemia or possibly non-Q myocardial infarction. In this case there were no enzyme changes suggestive of a myocardial infarction and the changes probably represent ischemia secondary to the ventricular tachycardia terminated by the lidocaine. It is also possible that the ST changes are purely a result of the tachycardia but in this case this would seem unlikely.
