Unrecognized MI Prevalent in Older Adults, Ups Mortality Use of an automated electrocardiogram (ECG) to diagnose acute ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) activates the protocol for ...

Acute myocardial infarction (AMI) continues to be a leading cause of death worldwide, necessitating rapid and accurate diagnosis to mitigate severe cardiac damage. The electrocardiogram (ECG) remains ...

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 ...

A 50-year-old woman experiences jaw discomfort while at work. It increases in intensity, accompanied by diaphoresis and nausea. An ambulance is called 40 minutes after symptom onset. On arrival to the ...

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 ...

PARIS, France—Among patients with acute MI and occlusive disease on invasive angiography, those presenting without ST-segment elevation on the initial ECG fare worse than those with STEMI, researchers ...

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 ...
