Anterior-wall and non-anterior-wall STEMIs do not differ in long-term mortality: results from the augsburg myocardial infarction registry

Frontiers in Cardiovascular Medicine

Background Different ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) localizations go along with dissimilarities in the size of the affected myocardium, the causing coronary vessel occlusion, and the right ventricular participation. No significant associations of the STEMI localization with long-term mortality were found.

75 year old with 24 hours of chest pain, STEMI negative

Dr. Smith's ECG Blog

STEMI negative : the EMS automated interpretation read, “STEMI negative. Inferior infarct, age undetermined. According to the STEMI paradigm, the patient doesn’t have an acute coronary occlusion and doesn't need emergent reperfusion, so the paramedics can bring them to the ED for assessment, without involving cardiologists.

STEMI Breakthrough: Looking beyond Primary PCI with “Intra-coronary liquid oxygen”

Dr. S. Venkatesan MD

” R outine nasal Oxygen has little use in the management of STEMI. tried this in 2009 itself.(Ref Effect of supersaturated oxygen delivery on infarct size after percutaneous coronary intervention in acute myocardial infarction. 2009 Oct;2(5):366-75. This is not a new concept. Stone et al.

Subacute AnteroSeptal STEMI, With Persistent ST elevation and Upright T-waves

Dr. Smith's ECG Blog

Thus, this is BOTH an anterior and inferior STEMI in the setting of RBBB. How old is this antero-inferior STEMI? Although acute anterior STEMI frequently has narrow QR-waves within one hour of onset (1. the presence of such well developed, wide, anterior Q-wave suggests completed transmural STEMI.

Septal STEMI with ST elevation in V1 and V4R, and reciprocal ST depression in V5, V6

Dr. Smith's ECG Blog

You can see how V1, V2, aVR, and V4R would have ST elevation in either a right ventricular STEMI or with a septal STEMI, and how lateral leads, and even posterior leads, would have reciprocal ST depression. of patients with anterior STEMI, ST elevation of greater than or equal to 3.0 STE in V4R is confirmatory evidence.

Precordial ST depression. What is the diagnosis?

Dr. Smith's ECG Blog

Precordial ST depression may be subendocardial ischemia or posterior STEMI. If you thought it might be a posterior STEMI, then you might have ordered a posterior ECG [change leads V4-V6 around to the back (V7-V9)]. So there was 3-vessel disease, but with an acute posterior STEMI. Blackwell Publishing 2009.
