LVH with anterior ST Elevation. When is it anterior STEMI?

Dr. Smith's ECG Blog

However, the ST segments in patients with LVH may show significant variation over time in the absence of ischemia. 3 Some have also suggested that the typically asymmetric T wave inversion (TWI) of LVH might be distinguished from the typically symmetric TWI of cardiac ischemia. However, no evidence is cited to support this.

Heart Pump Improves Survival After Severe Heart Attacks

DAIC

The new trial, called DanGer Shock , is the first trial powered to examine whether the use of micro-axial flow pumps can improve survival in ST-elevation myocardial infarctions (STEMI, the most serious type of heart attack) that are complicated by cardiogenic shock. Among 355 patients who were included in the analysis, 58.5%
