Chest pain: Are these really "Nonspecific ST-T wave abnormalities", as the cardiologist interpretation states?

Dr. Smith's ECG Blog

The ECG did not meet STEMI criteria, and the final cardiology interpretation was “ST and T wave abnormality, consider anterior ischemia”. Hence the first ECG was labeled 'anterior ischemia' based on ST depression, rather than identifying this as reciprocal from posterior OMI. But are there any other signs of Occlusion MI?

Case Report: A case report of myocardial fibrosis activation assessment after unstable angina using 68Ga-FAPI-04 PET/CT

Frontiers in Cardiovascular Medicine

Myocardial ischemia may induce myocardial fibrosis, a condition that progressively leads to ventricular remodeling, heightening the risk of heart failure. The timely detection of myocardial fibrosis is crucial for intervention and improved outcomes. The results demonstrated tracer-specific uptake (SUVmax = 4.6)

AliveCor Announces Dual FDA Clearance of AI Technology That Delivers 35 Cardiac Determinations and First-of-its-Kind Kardia 12L ECG System

DAIC

The Kardia 12L ECG System, featuring a game-changing patented technology, is the world’s first AI-powered handheld 12-lead electrocardiogram ( ECG ) system with a unique single-cable design. This is the world’s first AI that can detect life-threatening cardiac conditions, including heart attacks, using a reduced leadset.

ECG Changes in Intracranial Hemorrhage

All About Cardiovascular System and Disorders

Mechanism is thought to be due to sustained sympathetic stimulation, probably caused by dysfunction of insular cortex resulting in reversible neurogenic damage to the myocardium which could include contraction bands and subendocardial ischemia [2]. Lead electrocardiogram changes after supratentorial intracerebral hemorrhage.

Precordial ST depression. What is the diagnosis?

Dr. Smith's ECG Blog

Precordial ST depression may be subendocardial ischemia or posterior STEMI. I have warned in the past that one must think of other etiologies of ischemia when there is tachycardia. Whether it is subendocardial ischemia or posterior STEMI, if you cannot get it to resolve, you must activate the cath lab. There is no ST elevation.

Is OMI an ECG Diagnosis?

Dr. Smith's ECG Blog

5] Back to the case The patient had serial ECGs over the next hour with no significant change: The first troponin came back at 1,400 ng/L (normal <26 in males and <16 in females), confirming MI – and the patient’s refractory ischemia indicated this was an Occlusion MI.
