Figure Electrocardiograms (ECGs) of 2 intubated intensive care unit patients showing ST-segment elevations. Computer interpretations were moved to the ECGs. (A) A 62-year-old woman with respiratory failure and septic shock. Emergent cardiac catheterization showed no coronary occlusion, and the patient was ruled out for ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction. (B) A 60-year-old man with multilobar pneumonia and sepsis. Emergent bedside echocardiogram revealed normal left ventricular function without regional wall motion abnormality. The patient was ruled out for myocardial infarction. MI = myocardial infarction. The American Journal of Medicine 2014 127, e17-e18DOI: (10.1016/j.amjmed.2013.08.019) Copyright © 2014 Elsevier Inc.
