4,5] We have now formally studied this question: Emergency department Code STEMI patients with initial electrocardiogram labeled ‘normal’ by computer interpretation: a 7-year retrospective review.[6] have published a number of warnings about the previous reassuring studies.[4,5]

This is diagnostic of inferior MI, though does not meet millimeter criteria for "STEMI." He was worried for inferior MI and ordered another, which was recorded 15 minutes later: Now clearly and obviously diagnostic of inferior STEMI. January 2017. There is also ST elevation in lateral precordial leads V5 and V6. References : 1.

An initial electrocardiogram (ECG) is provided below. As per Dr. Aslanger — a number of medical providers were initial confused by what initially appears as marked ST elevation with reciprocal ST depression, indicative of an acute STEMI. The patient was promptly admitted to the hospital for further evaluation. What do you think?

A prior ECG from 1 month ago was available: The presentation ECG was interpreted as STEMI and the patient was transferred emergently to the nearest PCI center. Induced Brugada-type electrocardiogram, a sign for imminent malignant arrhythmias. So maybe she is better than I am. Heart Rhythm, 13(7): 1515-1520. [2]:

This worried the crew of potential acute coronary syndrome and STEMI was activated pre-hospital. As it currently stands, an ST/S ratio >15% should raise awareness for new anterior STEMI. New insights into the use of the 12-lead electrocardiogram for diagnosing acute myocardial infarction in the emergency department.

2) The STE in V1 and V2 has an R'-wave and downsloping ST segments, very atypical for STEMI. Cardiology was consulted and they agreed that the EKG had an atypical morphology for STEMI and did not activate the cath lab. Induced Brugada-type electrocardiogram, a sign for imminent malignant arrhythmias. Bicarb 20, Lactate 4.2,
