He reports that this chest pain feels different than prior chest pain when he had his STEMI/OMI, but is unable to further describe chest pain. Sensitivity was 87% for OMI in our validation study (it was 34% for STEMI criteria). He has a h/o of 3 vessel disease and stents and his pain has been on and off for days.

I took the patient to the critical care area and questioned him more on the way. Another ECG was recorded while awaiting the cath team: Now there is STEMI Let's look at that first (prehospital ECG) again: Very subtle! It was opened and stented. We activated the cath lab.

I immediately activated the critical care team and walked the patient to the critical care area, our "Stabilization Room." Opened and stented. This is why it is essential that the OMI/NOMI paradigm replace the STEMI/NonSTEMI paradigm. There are relatively large T-waves in V4-V6. Let's record another one."

There is an obvious inferior STEMI, but what else? Besides the obvious inferior STEMI, there is across the precordial leads also, especially in V1. This STE is diagnostic of Right Ventricular STEMI (RV MI). In fact, the STE is widespread, mimicking an anterior STEMI. He was successfully stented.

The 50-something patient with history of coronary stenting and slightly reduced LV ejection fraction. This EKG was recorded as part of a standing order for critical care. In the setting of prior stenting and reduced left ventricular ejection fraction, would pursue a heart team revascularization approach Syntax score 28.5,

It is diagnostic of OMI, but this is SUBACUTE OMI I sent this ECG to my "EKG Nerdz" friends, without any clinical info at all and they answered "OMI" The Queen said: "STEMI-Equivalent with High Confidence:" Notice she sees findings in both normal beats and PVCs. It was opened and stented. There is STE in V5-6.
