Cardiogenic shock (CS)is the most feared event following STEMI. We tend to perceive CS as an exclusive complication of STEMI. The incidence is half of that of STEMI, i.e., 2.5-5%. might show little elevation with considerable overlap of left main STEMI vs NSTEMI ) 2.Onset ACS pathophysiology is not that simple.

His ECG was repeated at this point: This shows a well developed anterior STEMI. To not see these findings is very common, and this patient would be given the diagnosis of NonSTEMI, with subsequent development of STEMI. It is not a missed STEMI, but it is a missed coronary occlusion. The peak troponin I was over 100.

Notice on the right side of the image how the algorithm correctly measures STE sufficient in V1 and V2 to meet STEMI criteria in a man older than age 40. As most would agree, this ECG shows highly specific findings of anterolateral OMI, even with STEMI criteria in this case. Thus, this is obvious STEMI(+) OMI until proven otherwise.

STEMI MINOCA versus NSTEMI MINOCA STEMI occurs in the presence of transmural ischaemia due to transient or persistent complete occlusion of the infarct-related coronary artery. This has resulted in an under-representation of STEMI MINOCA patients in the literature. From Gue at al. References: 1. Available from: [link] [link] 2.

The precordial ST-depression pattern on this ECG (and in this clinical setting) should immediately raise suspicion of Posterior STEMI! Posterior STEMI occurs in approximately 15-20% of acute MI, but the vast majority of the time it is seen in conjunction with inferior (Infero-Posterior) or lateral (Postero-Lateral) STEMI (1).

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. Kurkciyan et al.

Code STEMI was activated by the ED physician based on the diagnostic ECG for LAD OMI in ventricular paced rhythm. This was several months after the 2022 ACC Guidelines adding modified Sgarbossa criteria as a STEMI equivalent in ventricular paced rhythm). LAFB, atrial flutter, anterolateral STEMI(+) OMI.
