Empirical Treatment Recommendations for Infective Endocarditis

Specific ECG changes  in Left main coronary stenosis

ST Elevation in leads aVR and aVL --- highly specific for LM coronary artery stenosis.

ST Elevation in aVR and V1 ----  specific for proximal left anterior descending (LAD) or LMCA stenosis.
If  ST Elevation  in aVR is greater than the STE in V1 ----- indicates LMCA stenosis (81% sensitivity, 80% specificity, and 81% accuracy) rather than LAD stenosis.

STE in aVR  > 1.5mm has approximately 75% mortality

                                    Clinical evaluation of Low flow Low gradient Aortic stenosis.
EF - ejection fraction
MG- mean gradient
EOA - effective orifice area
DSE - dobutamine stress echo
SV- stroke volume
AVR - aortic valve replacement
