Shark Fin Occlusive Myocardial Infarction ECG Pattern Post-cardiac Arrest Misinterpreted As Ventricular Tachycardia.

In addition to the well-known convex ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) pattern associated with acute occlusive myocardial infarction (OMI), there are other cases that are recognized as OMI without fulfilling the established characteristic STEMI criteria. Over one-fourth of the patients initially classified as having non-STEMI can be re-classified as having OMI by recognizing other STEMI equivalent patterns. We report a case of a 79-year-old man with multiple comorbidities who was brought to the ED by paramedics with a two-hour history of ongoing chest pain.

: An Uncommon Human Pathogen Causing Infective Endocarditis in a Valve-in-Valve Transcatheter Aortic Valve Replacement.

is a fish pathogen and an uncommon cause of human infections. There is a growing body of evidence showing its potential for causing endocarditis especially in those with prior valve surgery. In this case report, we present what we believe is the first case of endocarditis by affecting a valve-in-valve transcatheter aortic valve replacement that was successfully treated.
