Asymptomatic ST segment elevation.
Asymptomatic ST segment elevation in a life insurance applicant's ECG raises several prognostically important possibilities such as myocardial infarction, pericarditis, Brugada syndrome and early repolarization. This ECG case study discusses the ECG features involved in the differential diagnosis.
متن کاملTransient ST-Segment Elevation
AN IDEAL LESION for coronary artery bypass graft surgery is a severe proximal narrowing of a major coronary artery with a distal vessel free of severe disease. It would be helpful if it were possible to identify those patients likely to have such ideal "surgical" lesions prior to arteriography by means of the electrocardiogram. It has been proposed that the presence of transient ST-segment elev...
متن کاملGuideline adherence after ST-segment elevation versus non-ST segment elevation myocardial infarction.
BACKGROUND Clinical guidelines recommend similar medical therapy for patients with ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) and non-ST-segment elevation MI (NSTEMI). METHODS AND RESULTS Using the Get with the Guidelines-Coronary Artery Disease registry (GWTG-CAD), we analyzed data including 72 352 patients (48 966, NSTEMI; 23 386, STEMI) from 237 US sites between May 1, 2006 and Mar...
متن کاملA rare cause of ST segment elevation.
ST-segment elevation is usually resulted from total occlusion of the epicardial coronary arteries like acute myocardial infarction. However, it is important to remember that acute myocardial infarction is not the only cause of ST-segment elevation. It can be seen in patients with acute pericarditis and myocarditis, Brugada syndrome, left bundle branch block and also in normal variants. Here we ...
متن کاملAnticoagulation for ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction.
Adjunctive anticoagulant therapy reduces the risk of recurrent infarction and death in patients with STsegment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) receiving fibrinolytic therapy.1–5 Unfractionated heparin (UFH), the first anticoagulant evaluated for this indication,1 continues to be used because of its predominantly nonrenal clearance, short half-life, reversibility, and the familiarity of ...
