2010 Myocardial Infarction STEMI

The ECG did not meet STEMI criteria, and the final cardiology interpretation was “ST and T wave abnormality, consider anterior ischemia”. There’s only minimal ST elevation in III, which does not meet STEMI criteria of 1mm in two contiguous leads. But STEMI criteria is only 43% sensitive for OMI.[1]

BackgroundIn Thailand, access to specific pharmaceuticals and medical devices for ST-elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) patients is restricted within certain healthcare systems, leading to inequalities in the quality of medical care among different healthcare systems.

They wanted to know if I would like them to activate the outside hospital's "STEMI alert." But of course, this is not a STEMI by definition as it does not meet STEMI criteria. The STEMI guidelines do state that hyperacute T-waves "may indicate early acute myocardial infarction" but do not discuss it as a "STEMI equivalent."

He wrote in his note that "The EKG showed early repolarization in I, V2-V3 but no clear STEMI pattern." See far below for data on 24 troponin T in STEMI and NSTEMI, and correlation with infarct size. This difficulty results in high lateral OMI being the most commonly missed OMIs by the misguided STEMI criteria.

The important point for our purposes is that they do no represent myocardial infarction. Anterior STEMI? A nice Review of EIA by Molis and Molis can be found in Sports Health 2:311-317, 2010. Dr. Smith note: I wouldn't necessarily consider this ENTIRELY "benign." What is it? Activate the Cath Lab?

Background Since 2000, the definition of myocardial infarction (MI) has evolved with reliance on cardiac troponin (cTn) tests. Methods We used linked hospitalisation data from all WA tertiary hospitals to identify patients with a principal diagnosis of STEMI, NSTEMI or UA between 2002 and 2016.

Note that they finally have laid to rest the new or presumably new LBBB as a criteria for STEMI. Note that they finally have laid to rest the new or presumably new LBBB as a criteria for STEMI. Also note that they allow ST depression c/w posterior MI to be a STEMI equivalent. Chicago November 2010.
