Background Pericardium is considered electrically inert, but diffuse ST-elevation is an electrocardiographic marker of acute ...

Early coronary reperfusion for ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) is critical for the preservation of overall left ventricular (LV) function and improved survival. Despite advancements ...

Artificial intelligence (AI)-based ECG interpretation outperformed standard pathways for the detection of occlusive ...

An artificial intelligence (AI)-based method for interpreting ECGs performed better than standard approaches in detecting ...

Because lethal ventricular arrhythmias may develop abruptly in patients with STEMI, the ACC/AHA guidelines suggest all patients be monitored with electrocardiography (ECG) on arrival in the emergency ...

Some clinicians say that testing for occlusion myocardial infarction (OMI) instead might be a better tool for making that determination. “We think we should get rid of the term ST-elevation MI, ...

If primary percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) is performed promptly, the procedure is superior to fibrinolysis in restoring flow to the infarct-related artery in patients with ST-segment ...

Researchers at University Medical Center Maastricht and international partners report that a single shot of the drug zalunfiban given at first medical contact for suspected ST-elevation myocardial ...

An anterior myocardial infarction results from occlusion of the left anterior descending coronary artery. This can cause an ST elevation myocardial infarction or a non-ST segment elevation myocardial ...

We identified patients 30 years of age or older in a large, diverse, community-based population who were hospitalized for incident myocardial infarction between 1999 and 2008. Age- and sex-adjusted ...
