This ECG is from an elderly woman who presented with several hours of chest pain radiating to the back.
This ECG shows flat T waves in aVL but otherwise normal. Troponin was elevated. CT showed no dissection but an area of transmural ischemia. Serial ECGs showed no change. The cause was an occluded OM1.

This ECG is from a man in his 40s who presented with intermittent left sided pleuritic chest pain for 3 days.
This ECG shows anterior ST elevation, but there was no anterior wall motion abnormality on echo - there was an inferolateral regional wall motion abnormality instead. Initial troponin was very high. He was found to have a 100% obtuse marginal occlusion. The ECG did not evolve over the next few days, suggesting that it was the patient's baseline ECG.
