2009 Electrocardiogram Ischemia 
All About Cardiovascular System and Disorders
NOVEMBER 16, 2023
Mechanism is thought to be due to sustained sympathetic stimulation, probably caused by dysfunction of insular cortex resulting in reversible neurogenic damage to the myocardium which could include contraction bands and subendocardial ischemia [2]. Lead electrocardiogram changes after supratentorial intracerebral hemorrhage.

Chest Pain Severity Rating Is a Poor Predictive Tool in the Diagnosis of ST-Segment Elevation Myocardial Infarction [link] Abstract Current ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) guidelines require persistent electrocardiogram ST-segment elevation, cardiac enzyme changes, and symptoms of myocardial ischemia.

An initial electrocardiogram (ECG) is provided below. Learning Point: Concordant ST segment elevation can arise from profound ischemia triggered by ventricular tachycardia (VT), or it may represent an exaggerated basal ST change accompanying tachycardia. The patient was promptly admitted to the hospital for further evaluation.

Precordial ST depression may be subendocardial ischemia or posterior STEMI. I have warned in the past that one must think of other etiologies of ischemia when there is tachycardia. Whether it is subendocardial ischemia or posterior STEMI, if you cannot get it to resolve, you must activate the cath lab. There is no ST elevation.
