The ECGis the key to diagnose STEMI. ECG criteria for STEMI are not used in the presence of left bundle branch block (LBBB) or left ventricular hypertrophy (LVH) because these conditions cause secondary ST-T changes which may mask or simulate ischemic ST-T changes. ...
Under the current STEMI paradigm, 25-30% of NSTEMI patients are found to have total occlusion on delayed cardiac catheterisation. Using expert ECG interpretation instead of strict STEMI criteria, cardiologists are able to successfully reclassify 28% of NSTEMI patients as having acute coronary occlusion...
Inclusion criteria: Patients 18 years or older with the principal diagnosis of a STEMI who presented as a walk-in to the ED, via EMS directly to the receiving facility or as a transfer patient from one of the referring hospitals within a 35 mile radius of the receiving hospital during ...
