STEMI is a life-threatening, time-sensitive emergency. Early accurate diagnosis and prompt treatment to restore coronary perfusion, usually by percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI), are critical to effective management. As the term STEMI implies, the 12-lead ECG shows significant ST segment elevation during STEMI, unlike the ST depressions and ST-T wave changes seen during unstable angina and non-ST segment elevation MI. The Figure below illustrates the ECG during an anterior ST segment elevation MI with "to...
