Below is the first ECG, signed off by the over-reading cardiologist agreeing with the computer interpretation: ST elevation, consider early repolarization, pericarditis, or injury. Theres ST elevation in V3-4 which meets STEMI criteria, which could be present in either early repolarization, pericarditis or injury. What do you think?
