Eighth EKG Patterns in Acute MI We Can't Afford to Miss!

In this video, we dive deep into 8 crucial EKG patterns that are essential for diagnosing acute myocardial infarction (MI). These are the patterns you can't afford to miss, whether you're on the wards, in the ER, or managing critically ill patients. Early recognition can be the difference between life and death, and we break down each one in a clear and easy-to-understand way.
We'll cover:
ST elevations and depressions in key leads
Subtle T-wave changes
The significance of reciprocal changes
STEMI mimics and how to avoid common pitfalls
Perfect for medical students, residents, and healthcare professionals aiming to sharpen their EKG interpretation skills and improve their acute MI recognition.

Very informative,thankyou.

[@Hospitalista]

You are very welcome!

Thank you for simplifying this very important but confusing topic. I have a question regarding the ‘Posterior MI’ section: Why don’t we call it NSTEMI (ST depression in anterior leads). When do we suspect those are reciprocal changes and not true ST depression (subendocardial ischemia)?

[@zacharyleduc7255]

I don’t know what Dr Alrahamneh thinks here 😅 But I will venture to say that in the right clinical context (active chest pain/concerning history) you should definitely worry about posterior wall STEMI and to that 15-lead! Such a simple thing, not expensive at all, takes 5 min, may save a life.
