DIAGNOSIS OF MI ; ECG ROLE Detection of rise and / or fall of cardiac troponin T values with at least one of the following 1. Symptoms of acute myocardial ischemia 2. New ischemic ECG change 3. Development of pathological Q waves 4. Imaging evidence of new loss of viable myocardium or new regional wall abnormality in pattern consistent with an ischemic etiology 5. Identification of a coronary thrombus by angiography including intracoronary imaging or by autopsy Fourth universal definition of myocardial infarction, EHJ (2018) 00,1-33
STEMI Life threatening condition Plaque rupture Acute obstruction of infarct artery (s) Immediate management is essential Mortality is higher if a greater number of ECG leads show ST elevation Ragavendra R. Baliga, MD, MaGraw-Hill Specialty Board Review, ISBN 978-0-07-161410-8
Management Early diagnosis Early treatment Time = myocardium
ECG evaluation ECG recording as soon as possible If the ECG is equivocal, repeat ECGs and compared with previous recording Monitor ECG with defibrillator capacity FMC = First medical contract 2017 ESC Guidelines for the management of acute myocardial infarction in patients presenting with ST-segment elevation

NSTEMI ECG role ECG without acute ischemic changes have a reduced risk of MI and a very low risk of in-hospital life threatening complications Marked symmetrical precordial T-wave inversion ( 2 mm [0.2 mv]) suggests critical stenosis of LAD Nonspecific ST-T changes (usually defined as ST deviation of < 0.5 mm [0.5 mv] or T-wave inversion of < 2 mm [0.2 mv]) are less helpful diagnostically normal ECG in a patient with chest pain does not exclude ACS 2014 AHA/ACC Guideline for the Management of Patients With Non ST-Elevation Acute Coronary Syndromes
