This was sent to me by a former resident from a community hospital: A middle-aged woman complained of chest pain and was seen in triage. Comment This paper has received some press recently: Safety of Computer Interpretation of Normal Triage Electrocardiograms The algorithm used was also the GE Marquette 12 SL. Normal ECG."

It is from a 50-something with chest pain: What do you think? Up until recently — all computerized ECG interpretation programs that I am aware of used standard millimeter-based STEMI critieria as the basis for determining which chest pain patients should "qualify" for prompt cath with PCI. This was sent to me by a friend.

A middle aged male with no h/o CAD presented with one week of crescendo exertional angina, and had chest pain at the time of the first ECG: Here is the patient's previous ECG: Here is the patient's presenting ED ECG: There is isolated ST depression in precordial leads, deeper in V2 - V4 than in V5 or V6. There is no ST elevation.
