A Tough ECG, But Learn From It!

Dr. Smith's ECG Blog

These patients have worse outcomes: higher mortality, more CHF, higher biomarkers, and worse ejection fractions than the NonSTEMI patients with open arteries. Studies show that 30% of NonSTEMI have an occluded infarct artery at the time of angiography done 24 hours after presentation. This is because of subtle ECG findings. Marti D et al.
