Post cath ECG: Now there are hyperacute T-waves again, and recurrent ST depression in V2 This ECG would normally diagnostic of OMI until proven otherwise No further troponins were measured, but it looks like there is recurrent OMI Next day: A CT Coronary Angiogram was done (CTCA) CARDIAC MORPHOLOGY AND FUNCTION: 1. IMPRESSION: 1.

His EKG with worse pain now shows enough ST elevation to meet STEMI criteria. Surely, he should be given heparin and taken for an emergent angiogram, right? The EKG was read by the conventional computer algorithm as diagnostic of “ACUTE MI/STEMI”. The patient started receiving medications for “STEMI” (including heparin!!!)

This has been termed a “STEMI equivalent” and included in STEMI guidelines, suggesting this patient should receive dual anti-platelets, heparin and immediate cath lab activation–or thrombolysis in centres where cath lab is not available. aVR ST segment elevation: acute STEMI or not? Incidence of an acute coronary occlusion.

BP 142/100 HR 90 RR 16 (BBS CTA) SpO2 99 (RA) Dstick 110 My colleagues noted the ST-depression in the respective leads, as well, and STEMI activated to the nearest PCI center. 1] Here is the admitting ED ECG after cancellation of Code STEMI. Cardiology admitted him for observation with plans for next-day coronary angiogram.

Hospital evaluation for this patient was negative for an acute coronary syndrome ( ie, CT coronary angiogram was normal — troponin was not elevated — and Echo was negative, with no sign of pericardial effusion ). CT Coronary Angiogram showed no sign of underlying coronary disease.

Here is the Queen of Heart's interpretation: The cath lab had been activated for concern of STEMI. Learning Points: This is one of many examples of false positive STEMI criteria, which is distinguishable by expert humans, and now by AI such as QOH. Emergent CT coronary angio also likely has a role in such cases.

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. Type II MI), however decided to pursue coronary angiogram out of an abundance of caution. References Naidu, S. Tower-Rader, A.
