- STEMI (ST Elevation Myocardial Infarction): Diagnosis, ECG, Criteria . . .
This in-depth review on acute STEMI (ST Elevation Myocardial Infarction) covers definitions, pathophysiology, ECG criteria, clinical features and evidence-based management
- Management of STEMI (ST-Elevation Acute Myocardial Infarction)
This page summarises the most current recommendations for the management of acute coronary syndromes with persistent ST-segment elevations (i e STEMI, ST-segment elevation acute myocardial infarction) 1…
- A New Approach to Acute Coronary Syndromes: Occlusion MI (OMI) vs. non . . .
A study on 504 patients (Marti et al) with suspected STEMI undergoing systematic primary percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) found that 20% had only subtle ST-segment elevations (0 1 to 1 mm), which still indicated acute coronary occlusion (ACO)
- ECG localization of myocardial infarction ischemia and coronary . . .
How to localize myocardial infarction ischemia and identify the occluded artery (culprit) using ECG, in patients with acute myocardial infarction (STEMI)
- Classification of Acute Coronary Syndromes (ACS) Acute Myocardial . . .
Learn all about acute coronary syndromes (ACS) and acute myocardial infarction (AMI), including ECG, definitions, criteria, pathophysiology and management
- ST segment elevation in acute myocardial ischemia and differential . . .
In STEMI STE-ACS, on the other hand, reciprocal ST segment depressions are typical and there may be T-wave inversions in the same leads showing ST segment elevation T-wave inversion may, however, occur in perimyocarditis, but only after normalization of the ST segment elevations (i e these two ECG changes do not occur simultaneously)
- ECG signs of myocardial infarction: pathological Q-waves pathological . . .
Hence, Q-wave infarctions are mostly the result of transmural infarction (STEMI) but may be caused by extensive subendocardial ischemia (NSTEMI) Establishing a diagnosis of Q-wave infarction requires that pathological Q-waves be present in at least two anatomically contiguous leads
- The ECG in assessment of myocardial reperfusion
This is particularly important in STE-ACS (STEMI) and the following parameters on the ECG are assessed: Normalization (return) of ST-segment elevations Rapid T-wave inversion Normalization (return) of ST-segment elevations Successful reperfusion results in rapid and marked normalization (return) of ST-segment elevations
