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.

An artificial intelligence algorithm for ECG interpretation (AI-ECG) is superior to conventional, guideline-recommended STEMI criteria for identifying patients with chest pain who have an occluded ...

I was involved in a malpractice case a couple of years ago as a consultant. The case involved an emergency physician who was being sued for failure to make a rapid diagnosis of an ST-segment elevation ...

When reading the ECG of a patient presenting with cardiopulmonary complaints, the most important duty of acute care clinicians is to determine whether there is evidence of an acute coronary occlusion ...

Pericarditis, or inflammation of the pericardium, has typical ECG findings. These findings occur in progressive stages, all of which are seen in about 50% of cases of pericarditis. Stage I (acute ...

SAN FRANCISCO, CA—Artificial intelligence-based ECG interpretation (AI-ECG) outperformed standard decision-making when it came to detecting angiographically confirmed STEMI across three primary PCI ...

Sooner was not better when using ECG to determine candidates for urgent coronary angiography after out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA), according to the PEACE study from Europe. The earlier the ECG ...

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 ...

This Journal feature begins with a case vignette highlighting a common clinical problem. Evidence supporting various strategies is then presented, followed by a review of formal guidelines, when they ...
