  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. Sgarbossa's criteria - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sgarbossa's_criteria

    proportionally excessively discordant ST elevation in V1-V4, as defined by an ST/S ratio of equal to or more than 0.20 and at least 2 mm of STE. (this replaces Sgarbossa criterion 3 which uses an absolute of 5mm) Wackers et al. correlated ECG changes in LBBB with localization of the infarct by thallium scintigraphy. [7]

  4. ST segment - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ST_segment

    ST elevation may indicate transmural myocardial infarction. An elevation of >1mm and longer than 80 milliseconds following the J-point . This measure has a false positive rate of 15-20% (which is slightly higher in women than men) and a false negative rate of 20–30%.

  5. 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 ...

  6. Diagnosis of myocardial infarction - Wikipedia

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

    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. The primary purpose of the electrocardiogram is to detect ischemia or acute coronary injury in broad, symptomatic emergency department populations. A ...

  7. Benign early repolarization - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Benign_early_repolarization

    Research in the late 2000s has linked this finding to ventricular fibrillation, particularly in those who have fainted or have a family history of sudden cardiac death. [5] [6] [7] Although there is a significant relationship between ventricular fibrillation and some early repolarization's patterns, the overall lifetime occurrence of idiopathic ventricular fibrillation is exceptionally rare. [8]

  8. 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 ]

  9. ST depression - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ST_depression

    ST segment depression and T-wave changes may be seen in patients with unstable angina; Depressed but upsloping ST segment generally rules out ischemia as a cause. Also, it can be a normal variant or artifacts, such as: Pseudo-ST-depression, which is a wandering baseline due to poor skin contact of the electrode [3]
