A STEMI is a heart attack that causes a distinct pattern on an electrocardiogram (abbreviated either as ECG or EKG). This is a medical test that uses several sensors (usually 10) attached to your skin that can detect your heart’s electrical activity. That activity is then displayed as a ...
Fluid infusionis the mainstay of treatment for patients with RVI. In the case of an inferior MI with right ventricular involvement, the administration of nitroglycerin and morphine could cause an abrupt drop in blood pressure. Acute Inferior MI on EKG / ECG l The EKG Guy - www.ekg.md...

Purpose: The purpose of this project was to evaluate the implementation of an ST-elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) Network into a large metropolitan healthcare system in Kentucky. The objectives of this project were to (1) determine if (and to what extent) the implementation of the STEMI...
We utilise “STEMI criteria” in everyday practice but conveniently ignore the 2.5mm STE on the ECG of a 30-year-old male with benign sounding chest pain, whilst scrutinising over the trace STE in an 80-year-old female with ischaemic-sounding chest pain. The term “STEMI equivalent” is ...
The EKG showed an infero-lateral STEMI. The patient underwent systemic thrombolysis complicated by arrhythmic storm, treated with effective DC shock, then he was urgently transferred to our Hospital to perform a PCI rescue. The coronary angiography showed a critical stenosis of the right coronary ...
Different semi-compliant balloon were used but didn't cross the tight calcific lesion on mid right coronary artery (RCA). The manipulation of the Amplatz left 1 guiding catheter induced an extensive, occlusive and bidirectional dissection toward both, the distal and ostial RCA with ascending aorta...
All patients evaluated one hour after performing primary PCI showed a persistence between 50–70% of ST-segment elevation on the EKG pathway. It was found that patients with the transient form of no-reflow phenomenon showed a resolution of the ST segment on the ECG during follow-up. In contr...
