ST-Elevation Myocardial Infarction
Background—In the United States, efforts are underway to improve timely access to percutaneous coronary intervention in ST-elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI). The Joint Commission (TJC) and the American College of Cardiology National Cardiovascular Data Registry (NCDR) have developed standardized definitions and clinical performance measures for STEMI. The purpose of this study was to dete...

متن کاملTombstoning ST-Elevation Myocardial Infarction
Tombstoning ST elevation myocardial infarction can be described as a STEMI characterized by tombstoning ST-segment elevation. This myocardial infarction is associated with extensive myocardial damage, reduced left ventricle function, serious hospital complications and poor prognosis. Tombstoning ECG pattern is a notion beyond morphological difference and is associated with more serious clinical...
متن کاملST-Elevation Myocardial Infarction simulations
The authors present the methods of ECG signal simulation especially ST-Elevation Myocardial Infarction known as STEMI. It occurs in the case of blood flow around and towards heart problem. It is strongly associated with a heart attack due to low level of oxygen transported to the heart muscle. The most common symptoms of this disease are chest pain, breath shortness or sweating. There are many ...
متن کاملDoor-to-balloon time and ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction.
I would like to congratulate the authors for their paper in the mini-focus issue on the ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) (1), for calling attention to the fact that door-toballoon time might not be the best metric to assess successful treatment of STEMI (2). In their State-of-the-Art paper, the authors clearly point out that measuring door-to-balloon time ignores, for the most...
