The more examples you see, the better. The anteroseptal STEMI ECG example below is good enough to call a tombstone in lead V3. There is no lateral involvement here. Although not quite a tombstone ...

The ECG findings of an acute anterior myocardial infarction wall include: ST segment elevation in the anterior leads (V3 and V4) at the J point and sometimes in the septal or lateral leads ...

The diagnosis is NSR, isorhythmic dissociation, acute ST-segment elevation MI (STEMI) of the lateral wall, and poor R-wave progression across the precordium (clockwise rotation). The rhythm is ...

ST-segment elevation (STE) was clearly present on the ECG but he assumed it was due to a nonischemic cause. Eventually the diagnosis of STEMI was made, but the delay and resulting cardiomyopathy ...

Although the first diagnosis of acute myocardial infarction by electrocardiogram (ECG) dates back to 1920, its prognostic value has enjoyed little attention in the era of “time is muscle.” Instead, ...

An NSTEMI is diagnosed when your EKG does not show the type of abnormality seen in a STEMI but your blood tests show that your heart is stressed. Unstable angina. This is the least severe type of ACS.

What sets a STEMI apart is its unique signature on an electrocardiogram—an ECG or EKG. This diagnostic tool detects and records the electrical activity of the heart. In a STEMI event ...
