Pericarditis, or inflammation of the pericardium, has typical ECG findings. These findings occur in progressive stages, all of which are seen in about 50% of cases of pericarditis. Stage I (acute ...

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 ...

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 ...

An artificial intelligence (AI) algorithm that mines ECG data and alerts the primary PCI team to activate the cath lab can reduce STEMI patients’ arrival times by as much as 10 minutes, according to ...

Advance care paramedics will be provided with 12-lead ECG monitors to help detect STEMI heart attacks. The monitors are to be used before a patient arrives at hospital. The device will let a paramedic ...

Pericarditis, or inflammation of the pericardium, has typical ECG findings. These findings occur in progressive stages, all of which are seen in about 50% of cases of pericarditis. Stage I (acute ...

This study is reminiscent of a 2009 publication by Jayroe and colleagues [1] in which researchers asked 15 experienced cardiologists to interpret 116 ECGs for evidence of STEMI. In that study, only 8 ...
