Today I taught myself about reading EKG’s and where they actually line up with things going on in the heart with regards to MIs. Basically you have 3 coronary arteries that get occluded in most MIs: Left Anterior Descending (LAD), Left CircumfleX (LCX), and Right Coronary Artery (RCA). LAD feeds the anterior heart and the septum. LCX feeds the lateral and some posterior heart. RCA feeds the right ventricle and some posterior heart, as wells as the SA node in 60% of people.

Now EKGs are confusing and complicated, but it gets easier if you remember where they measure relative to the anatomy. This little diagram helps me get started:

I’ve overlaid the heart over this in the diagram up top. Now remember, those arrows are vectors which is reflected in an EKG read by the upstrokes and downstrokes of the read. (I’m oversimplifying things, but physics makes my brain hurt, and this has worked for me so far.) Practically, what it means is that if the arrow is pointing towards the damage you get ST elevations. For example, in an inferior infarct, you get ST elevations in II, III and aVF, which point towards the inferior part of the heart.

You also have leads V1-V6 which are arranged like so:

(Image from wikipedia)

Notice their vectors point anteriorly. So an anterior infarct shows up at ST elevations in some or all of V1-V6. Meanwhile a posterior infarct will show up as ST depression in V1-V3 which point away from the posterior part of the heart.

To take it one step further you can figure out which artery is blocked. But that’s just a matter of knowing the blood supply, which is basically just what’s nearby. When I’m trying to figure it out on a test, sometimes I draw out this 5 second diagram (aka artistic masterpiece):

Schrödinger’s Pokeball:
When the app freezes in the middle of an encounter and the pokémon is both caught and not caught.

Otherwise known as EVERY FUCKING TIME

When this happens: wait for the white pokeball to appear it the corner once, disappear, appear a SECOND TIME (this is the game saving your catch), and disappear once again. When you reload the app, you will have that Pokemon.

Wait…for real? I’ve noticed that sometimes it saves them and sometimes it doesn’t….WAS IT MY FAULT ALL ALONG?!
