Beyond STEMI: Diagnosing Acute Coronary Occlusion on the ECG.  

The Queen of Hearts AI app can do it for you.  

With explainability too.

    examples highlighting specific ECG findings that indicate either whether
    or not an acute OMI is present.

Many Examples in the Talk, such as this one from this blog post:

The Queen says, correctly: “OMI with high confidence.”  Bright blue tells you what she sees.

MY Comment, by KEN GRAUER, MD (12/6/2023): 

===================================

I have always found it interesting (and tremendously insightful) to  “go back” — and look at my talks and writings from years past. And so — the above sample tracing takes us back to Dr. Smith’s post from a decade ago! ( = his June 18, 2013 post in this ECG Blog) — with his astute comments then — and what we might now add in 2023, given our additional experience over the past decade …

QUESTION:

HOW many ECG findings do YOU see in the above ECG from this patient with chest pain — that convincingly tell you this is an acute OMI?

  • HINT #1: If your answer does not include at least 5 convincing ECG findings of acute OMI — TAKE another LOOK (and/or consider sampling the above-linked superb WEBINAR by Drs. Smith, Meyers & Herman on Diagnosing Acute Coronary Occlusion).
  • HINT #2: I’ve added my Answer to Dr. Smith’s discussion at the bottom of the page in this June 18, 2013 postPlease check how many ECG findings of acute OMI there are in this June 18, 2013 post — and please consider review of the above-linked WEBINAR.
