Early Repolarization vs. STEMI
Key Points Differentiation Challenge: Early repolarization (ER) is a benign ECG pattern often seen in healthy young individuals, characterized by ST segment elevation that can mimic STEMI and acute pericarditis….
STAT ECG Diagnoses: is this ST segment elevation due to early repolarization or a large STEMI?
A 38-year-old male presents to the ED with acute chest pain. The following ECG is obtained:
