ST Elevation: DDx

Key Points: ST elevation describes an ECG finding, not a diagnosis. It reflects abnormal ventricular repolarization and can arise from ischemic, structural, metabolic, electrical, or extracardiac processes. Occlusion MI is…

ST Elevation in aVR: DDx

Key Points: ST elevation (STE) in aVR with diffuse ST depression elsewhere most often reflects global subendocardial ischemia, not focal transmural infarction. High-risk coronary disease is one cause, not the…

ST Depression V1-V4: OMI Pattern

Key Points: Most missed occlusion MI. Isolated posterior occlusion MI is frequently missed because the standard 12-lead ECG often lacks ST elevation. Instead, posterior injury appears as reciprocal anterior ST…

ST Depression in V1-V4: DDx

Key Points: Do not reflexively label ST depression in V1–V4 as “anterior ischemia/NSTEMI.” In ACS symptoms, posterior OMI is a major concern when the depression is most prominent in V1–V3…

ST Segment: Basics

Key Points Definition: The ST segment runs from the J point (end of QRS) to the start of the T wave, the interval between ventricular depolarization and repolarization. Normal: Usually…

Right Axis Deviation + ST Elevation: DDx

Key Points RAD combined with ST-segment elevation (STE) is an uncommon but high-risk finding. While STE often suggests acute coronary occlusion, this pattern rarely reflects classic STEMI. Several non-ischemic conditions…

Subtle ST Segment Elevation: OMI Pattern

Key Points ACS Dynamics: Occluded arteries in ACS can spontaneously reperfuse and reocclude, making ECG findings variable. Limitations of Computer Interpretation: Subtle STE is often missed by computerized ECG interpretation;…

Differential Diagnoses: the main three things that cause narrow complex regular tachycardias

A 51-year-old man presents to the ED with generalized weakness and palpitations. The following prehospital ECG is obtained:
