IntroductionAcute coronary syndrome refers to a group of diseases characterized by sudden, decreased blood supply to the heart muscle that results in cell death, also known as acute myocardialinfarction. The majority of patients (67.9%) have been diagnosed with ST- Elevated MyocardialInfarction and were classified as Killip class I.
ST depression in lead AVL differentiates inferior ST-elevation myocardialinfarction from pericarditis. Ischemic ST-segment depression maximal in V1-4 (versus V5-6) of any amplitude is specific for occlusion myocardialinfarction (versus nonocclusive ischemia). Am J Emerg Med 2016 5. Meyers et al. J Am Heart Assoc 2021 6.
See these 2 articles Association between pre-hospital chest pain severity and myocardial injury in ST elevation myocardialinfarction: A post-hoc analysis of the AVOID study Author links open overlay panel [link] 1 Background We sought to determine if an association exists between prehospital chest pain severity and markers of myocardial injury.

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.
However, it is unclear whether early subclinical therapeutic changes can be detected from routine 12-lead electrocardiograms (ECGs).Methods:We Background:GLP-1 receptor agonists (GLP1RA) agonists have been shown to reduce cardiovascular events in patients with type 2 diabetes (T2D) and atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease (ASCVD).
With wrist-worn devices capable of simultaneously acquiring two ECG leads, the possibility opens to synthesize a 12-lead ECG, thereby facilitating clinical interpretation. However, it remains unclear whether the information conveyed within a two-lead ECG is sufficient to maintain diagnostic ECG features.
The timely detection of myocardial fibrosis is crucial for intervention and improved outcomes. 68 Ga-FAPI-04 PET/CT shows promise in assessing fibroblast activation in patients with early myocardialinfarction characterized by prolonged myocardial ischemia. The results demonstrated tracer-specific uptake (SUVmax = 4.6)
Atrial fibrillation (AF) is frequently under-detected but linked to cardiovascular comorbidities, including stroke. Preexisting screening modalities are known to have low performance.
Electrocardiogram (ECG) might not always show abnormalities, and chest pain is not always present. His headache improved after percutaneous coronary intervention. Cardiac cephalalgia is usually marked by severe headaches, autonomic signs, and often affects the occipital region.
ECG changes resembling ST elevation myocardialinfarction has also been described after traumatic intracranial hemorrhage [4]. Excess of catecholamines can damage myocytes directly and can also lead to generalized spasm of coronary arteries and even consequent actual myocardialinfarction [5]. PMID: 7355693. N Engl J Med.

Background Patients with low HEART (History, Electrocardiogram, Age, Risk factors, and Troponin level) risk scores who are discharged from the emergency department (ED) may present clinical challenges and diagnostic dilemmas. All the patients underwent NISI (involving myocardial perfusion imaging/stress echocardiography).
In a world where technology reigns supreme, one of the most profound tools in medicine remains the irreplaceable electrocardiogram (ECG). An abnormal electrocardiogram can mean many things. Other times, an irregular recording can signal a medical emergency, such as a myocardialinfarction or a dangerous arrhythmia.
Cardiovascular consultation had been requested for all of the patients based on their primary clinical examination, vital signs, and electrocardiogram (ECG). Additionally, 2D transthoracic echocardiography (TTE), and myocardial injury serum biomarkers assays (creatine phosphokinase-MB [CPK-MB] and cardiac troponins [cTn]) were measured once.
