Today, Dr. Abhishek Shukla explained how a heart attack (acute myocardial infarction) is diagnosed using a combination of clinical symptoms, ECG findings, and cardiac biomarkers. The most critical ECG finding is ST-segment elevation in specific leads corresponding to the affected coronary artery territory. When a patient presents with acute chest pain, radiation to the arm or jaw, sweating, or breathlessness, the ECG is immediately evaluated. If ST elevation or new-onset left bundle branch block

A comprehensive and easy-to-use ECG algorithm to predict the coronary occlusion site in ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction. Ahmed Al Askary ✨ This ECG algorithm streamlines pre-procedural culprit artery prediction in STEMI. Key differentiators: ▪️ Proximal LAD: STE V₂-V₄ STD II/III/aVF ▪️ Proximal RCA: STE III > STE II & STE III > 2*STD V₃ ▪️ Proximal LCx: STD I/aVL/V₅/V₆ STD V₂ A vital tool for rapid triage and cath lab activation. #STEMI #Cardiology #ECG #CardioEd #CathLab #MI #CardioT
