Doing so literally enables those of us who embrace the OMI Paradigm the ability to recognize within seconds that a patient with new CP ( C hest P ain ) — and — one or more hyperacute T waves — needs prompt cath regardless of potential absence of STEMI criteria. In Figure-1 is the ECG from the August 26, 2009 post in Dr. .:

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. Results Of the 2,195 patients, 1,118 had an anterior (AWS)- and 1,077 a non-anterior-wall-STEMI (NAWS).

Methods and Results Patients with confirmed ST elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) treated by emergency medical services were included in this retrospective cohort analysis of the AVOID study. Greater severity of chest pain is presumed to be associated with a stronger likelihood of a true positive STEMI diagnosis. years old ± 13.7

Thus, this is both an anterior and inferior STEMI. How old is this antero-inferior STEMI? Although acute anterior STEMI frequently has narrow QR-waves within one hour of onset (1. Armstrong et al.)], the presence of such well developed anterior Q-wave suggests completed transmural STEMI. Apr 28, 2009.

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.

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. Apr 28, 2009.

” R outine nasal Oxygen has little use in the management of STEMI. tried this in 2009 itself.(Ref 2009 Oct;2(5):366-75. It is tough to consider oxygen as a “powerful and magical drug”, because it is freely available everywhere.” In fact, it can be harmful as it causes vasoconstriction. Stone et al.
