Mistaken ST-Elevation Myocardial Infarction
Western Journal of Emergency Medicine, 2015 A 66-year-old female was transferred from an outside hospital for possible ST segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI). The patient reported feeling poorly for the last day, with epigastric pain, nausea, and multiple episodes of vomiting. Patient’s medical history was significant for diabetes mellitus, hypertension, atrial fibrillation, and ...

ST elevation myocardial infarction [PDF]
Clinical Medicine, 2016 ST segment elevation myocardial infarction remains a significant contributor to morbidity and mortality worldwide, despite a declining incidence and better survival rates. It usually results from thrombotic occlusion of a coronary artery at the site of a ruptured or eroded plaque.

ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction [PDF]
Nature Reviews Disease Primers, 2019 ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) is the most acute manifestation of coronary artery disease and is associated with great morbidity and mortality. A complete thrombotic occlusion developing from an atherosclerotic plaque in an epicardial coronary vessel is the cause of STEMI in the majority of cases.

ST elevation without myocardial infarction [PDF]
BMJ Case Reports, 2014 Acute myocarditis may mimic myocardial infarction because the affected patients report ‘classical’ chest pain; the ECG changes and echocardiography are identical to those observed in acute coronary syndromes, and serum markers are increased. We describe a case with ST segment elevation on admission ECG, and coronary angiography was normal.

Likelihood and predictors of ST-elevation in patients hospitalized for myocardial infarction. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2014 Emergency treatment options in myocardial infarction are guided by presence or absence of ST-elevations in electrocardiography. Occurrence and factors associated with ST-presentation in different population groups are however inadequately known.To ...

Significance of ST‐Segment elevation in V4R lead in patients with anterior myocardial infarction
Annals of Noninvasive Electrocardiology, 2021 Background There is some evidence of the association between ST‐segment elevation in the V4R chest lead and the likelihood of anterior wall myocardial infarction; however, the link of this phenomenon with the location and the severity of the coronary ...

Electrocardiographic Recognition of Unprotected Left Main ST-Segment Elevation Myocardial Infarction
JACC: Case Reports, 2021 ST-segment elevation in aVR has traditionally been used for electrocardiographic identification of left main coronary artery (LM) myocardial infarction. We present two ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) cases with acute total occlusion of
