This was sent to me from Sam Ghali ( @EM_Resus ) with no other information. I assumed it was a patient with acute chest pain. "What do you think, Steve? Real or just fake?" What do YOU think? It has some inferior ST elevation with some reciprocal ST depression and inverted T in aVL. This usually indicates inferior OMI. My answer: "Fake: pretty certain, but not 100% certain.

== MY Comment , by K EN G RAUER, MD ( 8/30 /2024 ): == I was sent the ECG shown in Figure-1 — knowing only that the patient was being seen in the ED ( E mergency D epartment ). How would you interpret this tracing? Figure-1: The initial ECG in today's case. MY Initial Thoughts: In my experience — all-too-many emergency providers fail to appreciate the potential contribution that a brief ( 1-to-2 line ) history may convey when interpreting arrhythmias.

A 50 yo was resuscitated from ventricular fibrillation. He had a prehospital ECG recorded after ROSC: What do you think? This certainly looks like an anterior STEMI (proximal LAD occlusion), with STE and hyperacute T-waves (HATW) in V2-V6 and I and aVL. Although one may have all kinds of ischemic findings as a result of cardiac arrest (rather than cause of cardiac arrest), this degree of ST elevation and HATW is all but diagnostic of acute proximal LAD occlusion.

Why does QRS morphology in the long lead II rhythm strip change every-other-beat? Figure-1: The initial ECG in today's case.

There is a phrase in aviation: “The most useless part of the runway is the runway that is behind you” A runway might be a mile long, but if you start your takeoff roll at the halfway mark, it doesn’t really matter that the runway is a mile long.

We aimed to investigate whether our artificial intelligence (AI)-powered ECG analysis reliably distinguishes between the causes of dyspnoea and evaluate its potential as a clinical triage tool for comparing conventional heart failure diagnostic processes using natriuretic peptides.
