What leads demonstrate the ST depression?
Lorene demonstrates ST depression dispersed throughout the EKG. Specifically, the depression
is exhibited in leads I, II, V4, V5, a slight depression in aVF, and V6. There is also an ST
elevation in aVR. The EKG shows signs of acute coronary syndrome (ACS). An EKG for ACS
will show ST depression in six or more leads, most significant in leads V4 to V6, particularly
when related with inverted T waves and ST elevation in lead aVR. These EKG changes should
warrant importantnce for urgent, aggressive evaluation because of the high probability of severe
angiographic coronary artery disease (Nikus et al., 2014).
Is Lorene Hypertensive per ACA 2017 Guidelines? Compare the ACA guidelines to JNC 8
guidelines and discuss what treatment you recommend for her BP and why?
According to the American College of Cardiology (ACC), Lorene’s blood pressure, which is
146/90, would place her in stage II hypertension (HTN). The ACC definitions of stage II is
systolic greater than or equal to 140 or diastolic greater than or equal to 90. Her blood pressure
numbers falls within the guidelines recommendations (Whelton, Carey, & Aronow, 2018).
The ACA and JNC 8 guidelines report the difference in opinions about the blood pressure
parameters. According to ACA normal blood pressure is systolic less than 120 mm Hg and
diastolic less than 80 mm Hg. HTN stage 1 systolic BP (SBP) is 130-139 mm Hg or diastolic BP
(DBP) 80-89 mm Hg, and H
