mm has been described in normal subjects) Overall impression: In my opinion and experience, this ECG most likely represents a normal baseline ECG, but with a small chance of pericarditis instead. I texted this to Dr. Smith without any information, and this was his reply: "This could be pericarditis but probably is normal variant."

She was diagnosed with pericarditis and spent one day in the hospital without events. Much more classic findings of pericarditis. Learning Points: Pericardial effusion is a key piece of information for the diagnosis and prognosis of pericarditis. Another ECG was performed, and this time was noted to be markedly abnormal.

The limb leads have been removed because there was no ST elevation in those leads, the QRS complexes have been obscured because this is irrelevant to STEMI criteria, and red lines have been added to measure ST segment elevation. But STEMI criteria ignore all this and look at ST segments in isolation.

ECG met STEMI criteria and was labeled STEMI by computer interpretation. J waves can also be induced by Occlusion MI (5), STEMI mimics including takotsubo and myocarditis complicated by ventricular arrhythmias (6, 7), and subarachnoid hemorrhage with VF (8). Take home : Not all STEs are STEMIs or OMIs. What do you think?

.: 50% of LAD STEMI have Q-waves by one hour. The exception is with postinfarction pericarditis , in which a completed transmural infarct results in inflammation of the subepicardial myocardium and STE in the distribution of the infarct, and which results in increased STE and large upright T-waves. So it is not necessarily subacute.
