I was involved in a malpractice case a couple of years ago as a consultant. The case involved an emergency physician who was being sued for failure to make a rapid diagnosis of an ST-segment elevation ...

When reading the ECG of a patient presenting with cardiopulmonary complaints, the most important duty of acute care clinicians is to determine whether there is evidence of an acute coronary occlusion ...

SAN FRANCISCO, CA—Artificial intelligence-based ECG interpretation (AI-ECG) outperformed standard decision-making when it came to detecting angiographically confirmed STEMI across three primary PCI ...

An artificial intelligence algorithm for ECG interpretation (AI-ECG) is superior to conventional, guideline-recommended STEMI criteria for identifying patients with chest pain who have an occluded ...

New data from an international study of AliveCor’s smartphone app and accompanying two-wire ECG found the mobile tool to be on par with a standard 12-lead ECG among patients presenting with ST-segment ...

Identifying an acute myocardial infarction on the 12-lead ECG is the most important thing you can learn in ECG interpretation. Time is muscle when treating heart attacks. Missing a ST segment ...

An anterior myocardial infarction results from occlusion of the left anterior descending coronary artery. This can cause an ST elevation myocardial infarction or a non-ST segment elevation myocardial ...

Sooner was not better when using ECG to determine candidates for urgent coronary angiography after out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA), according to the PEACE study from Europe. The earlier the ECG ...

A newly developed smartphone app has shown promise for determining if a person is suffering from a serious heart attack. A study into the app's accuracy revealed it was almost as effective as a ...

Using artificial intelligence (AI) to analyze electrocardiograms (ECG) improved detection of severe heart attacks, including those that presented with unconventional symptoms, or atypical ECG patterns ...

A non-ST segment elevation myocardial infarction, also called an NSTEMI or a non-STEMI, is a type of heart attack. While it's often less damaging to your heart than a STEMI, it's still a serious ...
