ECG:T wave upright in lead 1,2,3 & V2-V6,q wave in lead 2,3,avF,V3,V4, baseline ST elevation in lead 2,avF,V6 seems to be normal varient ? Early repolarization. X-ray:B/L hilar calcification R>L, unfolded aorta,. MRI Normal. There is no post syncopal bradycardia.Sir go for EEG,TMT
Reports seem normal. Check out RBS Look for postural hypotension If had a bath wth cold water thn possibility of vaso vagal attack. At last carotid Doppler. And if h/o black out in past then holter monitoring
Can be Inferior wall MI causing hypotension and syncope. Lead 1 is not showing any ST elevation. 2 3 avf having ST elevation, Serial ecg, 2d echo, cardiac enzymes
ECG is having early repolarisation changes. This seems to be Neuro-cardiogenic syncope. Tilt table test may be useful.
Could be vasovagal or micturition syncope. also see for any unprescribed drugs history as he is working in pharmacy.
Why no one is putting BPPV in differential diagnosis? Non of the above test will be positive in BPPV. This is rainy season, many times the pH imbalance in ear can cause this type of symptoms, and the patient will feel no problem the next moment. My suggestion is to check and confirm the diagnosis and start with betahestine 16 mg bid .
ECG ST ELEVATION V2 ,V3-- POSSIBLY EARLY REPOLARISATION CXR NORMAL .NCCT NORMAL POSSIBLY VESOVEGAL SYNCOPE
Chest x-ray shows oligaemic lungfields. Cardiac shadow is WNL.

● QUICK REVIEW : DIFFERENCE BETWEEN DIFFERENT TYPES OF CARDIOMAYOPATHIES ● Definition: Cardiomyopathy is in simplest terms, disease involving the heart muscle. Types:- On the basis of Morphology - • Dilated Cardiomyopathy • Hypertrophic Cardiomyopathy • Restrictive Cardiomyopathy DILATED CARDIOMYOPATHY ▪ Symptoms and signs of heart failure. ▪ Echocardiogram confirms LV dilation, thinning, and global dysfunction. ▪ Severity of RV dysfunction critical in long-term prognosis. Special type:- TAKO-TSUBO CARDIOMYOPATHY ⊙ Occurs after a major catecholamine discharge. ⊙ Acute chest pain or shortness of breath. ⊙ Predominately affects postmenopausal women. ⊙ Presents as an acute anterior myocardial infarction, but coronaries normal at cardiac catheterization. ⊙ Imaging reveals apical left ventricular ballooning due to anteroapical stunning of the myocardium. ⊙ Most patients recover completely . HYPERTROPHIC CARDIOMYOPATHY ▪ May present with dyspnea, chest pain, syncope. ▪ Though LV outflow gradient is classic, symptoms are primarily related to diastolic dysfunction. ▪ Echocardiogram is diagnostic. Any wall thickness greater than 1.5 em defines the disease. RESTRICTIVE CARDIOMYOPATHY ▪Right heart failure tends to dominate over left heart failure. ▪Pulmonary hypertension is present. ▪Amyloidosis is the most common cause. ▪Echocardiography is key to diagnosis. ▪Myocardial biopsy or cardiac MRI can confirm amyloid. #CRP2017
