2. ST elevation - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ST_elevation

   12-lead electrocardiogram showing ST-segment elevation (orange) in I, aVL and V1–V5 with reciprocal changes (blue) in the inferior leads, indicative of an anterior wall myocardial infarction. When there is a blockage of the coronary artery , there will be lack of oxygen supply to all three layers of cardiac muscle (transmural ischemia).

3. Electrocardiography in myocardial infarction - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electrocardiography_in...

   The 2018 European Society of Cardiology/American College of Cardiology Foundation/American Heart Association/World Health Federation Universal Definition of Myocardial Infarction for the ECG diagnosis of the ST segment elevation type of acute myocardial infarction require new ST elevation at J point of at least 1mm (0.1 mV) in two contiguous leads with the cut-points: ≥1 mm in all leads ...

4. Acute coronary syndrome - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Acute_coronary_syndrome

   The TIMI risk score can identify high risk patients in ST-elevation and non-ST segment elevation MI ACS [30] [31] and has been independently validated. [ 32 ] [ 33 ] Based on a global registry of 102,341 patients, the GRACE risk score estimates in-hospital, 6 months, 1 year, and 3-year mortality risk after a heart attack. [ 34 ]

5. Management of acute coronary syndrome - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Management_of_acute...

   Patients with acute coronary syndrome and ST elevation are said to have ST-elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) and they tend to have one of their coronary arteries totally blocked. [3] Damage is reversible for approximately 20 [ 4 ] -30 [ 5 ] minutes after complete obstruction of blood flow; thereafter myocardial cell death ensues and ...

6. Myocardial infarction - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Myocardial_infarction

   Myocardial infarction; Other names: Acute myocardial infarction (AMI), heart attack: A myocardial infarction occurs when an atherosclerotic plaque slowly builds up in the inner lining of a coronary artery and then suddenly ruptures, causing catastrophic thrombus formation, totally occluding the artery and preventing blood flow downstream to the heart muscle.

7. Door-to-balloon - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Door-to-balloon

   Door-to-balloon is a time measurement in emergency cardiac care (ECC), specifically in the treatment of ST segment elevation myocardial infarction (or STEMI). The interval starts with the patient's arrival in the emergency department, and ends when a catheter guidewire crosses the culprit lesion in the cardiac cath lab.

8. Syndromes affecting the heart - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Syndromes_affecting_the_heart

   Commonly associated with three clinical manifestations: ST elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI, 30%), non ST elevation myocardial infarction (NSTEMI, 25%), or unstable angina (38%) Blockage of a coronary artery: Adams–Nance syndrome: maybe disturbance in glycine metabolism: persistent tachycardia, paroxymal hypertension: Seizure

9. Diagnosis of myocardial infarction - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Diagnosis_of_myocardial...

   A normal ECG does not rule out acute myocardial infarction. Mistakes in interpretation are relatively common, and the failure to identify high risk features has a negative effect on the quality of patient care. [12] It should be determined if a person is at high risk for myocardial infarction before conducting imaging tests to make a diagnosis ...
