This ECG (Figure 1), recorded in the emergency room, shows a wide complex tachycardia at 205 bpm. Wide complex tachycardias are more likely to be ventricular tachycardia (VT) than supraventricular ...

Acute myocardial infarction (AMI) continues to be a leading cause of death worldwide, necessitating rapid and accurate diagnosis to mitigate severe cardiac damage. The electrocardiogram (ECG) remains ...

Prophylactic implantable cardioverter defibrillator therapy did not reduce mortality in patients with a prior myocardial infarction, persistent moderate left ventricular systolic dysfunction and ...

The posterior wall demonstrates ECG changes the opposite of other myocardial segments due to the location; thus, instead of ST segment elevation, a posterior myocardial infarction is characterized by ...

In a recently published study in the journal Nature Medicine, researchers developed and tested an intelligent model for diagnosing patients with occlusion myocardial infarction (OMI). This model was ...

The most serious form of the acute coronary syndrome, ST segment elevation myocardial infarction, or STEMI, most often results from complete thrombotic occlusion of a major epicardial coronary artery.

Background: A shorter time from symptom onset to reperfusion is associated with improved outcomes for patients with ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (MI). Primary percutaneous coronary ...
