Specific cardiovascular diseases, such as acute myocardial infarction, arrhythmias, pulmonary hypertension and pericarditis, were also pointed. Further studies are needed to identify specific/distinctive biomarkers to improve early detection of CVDs in silica exposed workers.

Recall from this post referencing this study that "reciprocal STD in aVL is highly sensitive for inferior OMI (far better than STEMI criteria) and excludes pericarditis, but is not specific for OMI." The ESC states that patients with suspected ACS should go to the cath lab in ＜2 hours "regardless of ECG or biomarker evidence of MI!!"

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. These findings together are more commonly seen with pericarditis.
