With worked examples in the next three posts, we look at ways to recognise early ECG features of OMI before waiting for a "STEMI" to evolve
With a great case example, we discuss diagnosing OMI in the presence of intraventricular conduction delay and/or prior anterior myocardial infarction
Anterior STEMI usually results from occlusion of the left anterior descending (LAD) artery and carries the poorest prognosis of all infarct territories
