This week’s ECG is from a middle aged male who presented to the Emergency Department with abdominal pain. His ‘routine’ ECG can be found at:
Why ECG for this patient? he has left iliaca fossa abdominal pain….
Good question.
Hence the ‘routine’ comment, give the ECG is such a prevalent, cheap, quick, and non-invasive test in the Emergency Department I think alot are performed without clear clinical indication.
Give the clinical conclusion to this case (here http://jhcedecg.blogspot.com.au/2014/02/ecg-of-week-17th-february-2014_19.html) I suspect the patient had told the treating team that he had dextrocardia and that is why the ECG was performed.
