A cohort study of more than 3000 patients showed that among those presenting after an anterior STEMI, 30-day mortality occurred in 7.4% of those with the longest system delay to undergoing PCI ...

Nobody can debate that PCI is associated with better outcomes than fibrinolytics in patients with STEMI. However, it is reasonable to question the continual use of fixed time windows (90 minutes ...

Second, acording to the ACC/AHA guidelines for STEMI, to diagnose an anterior ST elevation MI there must be “new ST elevation at the J point in at least two contiguous leads of ≥ 2 mm (0.2 mV ...

This ECG demonstrates an "extensive anterior" and "tombstoning" of the ST segment seen during a large acute anterior myocardial infarction. This is usually the result of thrombosis of the left ...

Two linked reports present cases of atypical electrocardiography (ECG) patterns that represent manifestations of severe narrowing or occlusion of the proximal left anterior descending coronary ...

Press Release Powerful Medical, a leader in AI-driven cardiovascular diagnostics, announces that its PMcardio STEMI AI ECG model has been granted Breakthrough Device Designation by the US Food and ...

The 12-lead electrocardiography (ECG) is suggestive of acute AMI with 2.5-mm ST elevation in leads V2 to V4, serum cardiac biomarkers are positive with normal serum beta natriuretic peptide (BNP).

In an exploratory analysis of patients with early MI (<4 hours) hypothermia resulted in a 21% RR (P=.049) in all patients, a 13% RR (P=NS) in those with inferior STEMI and a 33% RR (P=.046) in those ...
